Overview

AESO's seven-day hourly solar forecast, every retrieval kept.

Query contract

Preserve one canonical row per (event_time, publish_time) before aggregating.

Analysis rules

  • publish_time is when the collector retrieved this forecast, not a verified AESO publication time. A forecast for hour H as known before H: the latest publish_time < H. Never stitch vintages into one curve without saying so.

Interpretation

  • A separate product from the 12-hour forecast; never stitch the two.
