14 Days Ahead Operational Metered Wind Forecasts
Summary
NESO has published a dataset containing national and individual windfarm-level wind power forecasts covering 0-14 days ahead for all windfarms providing real-time operational data. The forecasts are based on operational capacity determined from recent actual production levels captured through SCADA telemetry systems.
Why it matters
This data provides valuable transparency into wind power forecasting methodology and gives market participants access to the same forward-looking wind generation data that NESO uses for system operation and balancing decisions.
Key facts
- •Covers 0-14 days ahead forecasting period
- •Based on operational capacity from SCADA telemetry
- •Includes both national and individual windfarm level data

Publisher description
The dataset contains national and windfarm-level 0-14 Day Ahead wind forecasts for all the windfarms which provide real-time operational metering (SCADA telemetry) to the NESO. The forecasts are based on evaluated Operational Capacity, which is a deterministic value based on recent actual production levels of that windfarm, captured from SCADA telemetry.
