Overview

BPA's posted transmission outage plans (rolling year, monthly initial and final), every revision kept, one row per outage request.

Preserve one canonical row per (plan_file, published_at, request_id) before aggregating.

Read one plan_file revision at a time; the same request appears in many revisions.

Dataset	Description
BPA Transmission OutagesBPA · every 3 hours	Every outage in BPA's calendar-year outage reports (1999 onward) and Daily Interruptions Reports: customer service points, transmission lines and transformers.
AlertsISONE · ISO-NE source publication	ISO-NE's published Alerts source feed. This catalog page exposes the physical schema, coverage, and latest source rows without inventing a normalized grain for publisher-shaped snapshot fields. Use the documented key and event time when comparing revisions or vintages.
Curtailed Non-Operational GeneratorsCAISO · daily	CAISO's prior-trade-date report of planned and forced generator curtailments. publish_time is the report vintage; curtailment start and end are the operating interval.
Customer Outages by CountyODIN · 10-minute snapshot	Live county-level customer outage snapshots from ORNL/DOE's ODIN public county map API. Ask the Grid queries the nationwide grid='us' archive and derives each live product map from its exact state-FIPS scope, so every supported grid uses the same accumulated history. Each row is an active county outage at that snapshot with county FIPS, state FIPS, affected meters, contributing utility rows, and the ODIN county polygon. Missing county rows at a snapshot mean zero or cleared public ODIN outage, not stale carry-forward. This is distribution/customer outage data, not ISO generation or resource outage data.
