wind and solar output

Actual and forecasted renewable generation.

PJM publishes wind/solar output as operational feeds, CAISO OASIS carries renewable forecasts, and Form EIA-860 details the installed wind, solar and storage fleet in dedicated technology sheets.

In this catalog it appears concretely: - PJM short_description — "generation by fuel type, wind/solar output". - EIA Form EIA-860 granularity — "separate technology-specific sheets for wind, solar, storage and multifuel units". - CAISO OASIS short_description — "demand and renewable forecasts".

A label on a listing is not a deliverable: teams that license on a name match often find the shipped files cover a narrower slice than assumed, and backfilling history costs more than the license.

The failure mode is concrete: the listing promises one thing, the delivered files tell another, and the gap surfaces mid-project when fixing costs most.

82.4% of the 1,744 cataloged datasets are free to access, and PJM short_description lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.

Treat every claim of this attribute as testable:

1. Open PJM short_description and confirm its record — "generation by fuel type, wind/solar output" — against the files you actually receive.
2. Open EIA Form EIA-860 granularity and confirm its record — "separate technology-specific sheets for wind, solar, storage and multifuel units" — against the files you actually receive.
3. Open CAISO OASIS short_description and confirm its record — "demand and renewable forecasts" — against the files you actually receive.
4. Pin down update cadence in writing. Across this catalog, 22.6% of 1,744 datasets refresh daily and 64 still arrive only through a manual request form, so ask exactly how fresh each release is.
5. Check whether definitions are verified at all. Field definitions are verified for 1495 of 1,744 datasets (85.7%), and any source you license should meet that bar.
6. Price the delivery route before the license. In this catalog bulk download is the most common access method (725 datasets) ahead of official APIs (574), and 379 sources still require scraping — a maintenance cost that lands on you, not the vendor.
