Data Catalog

Overview

The ERCOT Generation Outages dashboard feed, recorded as system snapshots. It reports total, planned, and forced or unplanned generation-capability reductions, with dispatchable and renewable breakdowns. These are aggregate MW values submitted by Market Participants and can include full outages and partial reductions; they are not per-resource outage identities. The dashboard covers the current day and previous six days.
