Uncertainty
This is a schedule rather than a forecast, so its uncertainty is of a different kind: outages get rescheduled, extended, and cancelled, and forced outages arrive with no notice at all and never appear here.

What this shows
What this shows
Generating capacity that the New York ISO expects to be unavailable because it is scheduled off for maintenance. This is a published schedule rather than a prediction: units submit planned outages in advance, and this is the total the market expects to be missing at each point in the window.
Why it matters
New York plans generator maintenance a month out, which makes this the longest-range forecast published anywhere on this site. It matters most around the New York City load pocket, where transmission limits mean local capacity cannot simply be replaced from upstate.
How to read it
Look for the clusters. Maintenance is scheduled into low-demand weeks on purpose, so a heavy block sitting near a forecast warm spell is the thing to notice.
What is not in it
Forced outages. A unit that trips has not scheduled anything, so it cannot appear here — and forced outages are precisely what turns a comfortable planned margin into a scarcity event. Read this as the floor under how much capacity is missing, never the total.

What people ask
What is a planned generation outage?+
A generating unit taken offline deliberately for maintenance, refuelling, or repair, scheduled with the grid operator in advance. Operators concentrate them in low-demand seasons so the capacity is missing when it is least likely to be needed.
Why does this go so much further out than the other forecasts?+
Because maintenance is scheduled, not predicted. NYISO publishes an agreed calendar of planned outages roughly a month ahead, so the horizon is limited by how far ahead operators have committed rather than by how far ahead anything can be forecast.
How does this affect prices?+
Capacity that is out cannot bid. Removing a large block of it from the supply stack means the market clears further up that stack for the same demand, so a heavy outage day and a high demand day landing together is the classic setup for a price spike.
