Weekly Forwards Availability

About

The weekly forwards availability heatmap uses UOU data to show on a weekly level the availability at units across the next 52 weeks.

This is most useful for noting the future levels of outages anticipated and can be used to learn more about the future intentions of certain plants.

This can be seen with this example for coal stations taken in early September 2017:

Included Data

The data on this heatmap is the 2-52 Week 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.
