Daily Forwards Availability

About

The Daily Forwards Availability gives a view over the next 14 days of planned levels of max availability across the market, including at interconnectors.

A summary of this 2-14 day availability data can be found along with a comparison against demand in the UOU Summary chart in the Power (Forecasting) collection of charts to get a better view of how these individual levels affect the overall over/under-supply dynamic of the market, along with a summary of the changes in these values day to day or forecast to forecast.

Included Data

The data on this heatmap is the 2-14 Day Unit Output Usable OC2 availability data (the maximum expected daily availability) divided by the Generation Capacity (the output of the unit at 100% availability). For wind farms this is based upon a forecasted output value.
