Overview

Alberta's total solar output every ten minutes, with AESO's most-likely, minimum and maximum forecast for the same interval and installed solar capacity.

Query contract

Preserve one canonical row per (event_time) before aggregating.

Analysis rules

  • Rows repeat across polls: dedupe with argMax(value, ingested_at) per key.

Interpretation

  • The forecast columns are the short-term forecast AESO shows beside the actual, not a vintage-tracked forecast.
