What is included in each file?

Each file displays the input parameters at the top and then breaks down outputs to a monthly granularity. This was a heavily-requested change after the previous version of our forecast was at a yearly granularity.

Outputs include the average number of cycles per day, average wholesale day ahead price, revenues broken down by market, and total revenues.

These numbers assume perfect foresight, so suitable capture rates should be applied.

As ever, if something is missing that you'd like to see, please let us know.
