Overview

This is the higher-cadence load series for intraday grid movement, while hourly integrated actual load remains the settlement-quality hourly view.

Query contract

Use FINAL or argMax over revision time before comparison or aggregation.

Analysis rules

  • Group only after preserving the declared grain: event_time, ptid.

Access

Query from your own tools

Use the guarded HTTP endpoint directly, or connect an MCP client and load the dataset contract with describe_data before calling query_data.
