We'll keep iterating on the dashboard over the coming weeks, and once RTC+B goes live on Dec 5, we'll migrate it to live data.

Wildfire smoke complicated NYISO’s BTM solar forecast this week, overforecasting by over 500 MW on Monday and underforecasting by 1,000 MW on Tuesday

This miss was not even with downstate zones staying close to the forecast, while upstate zones saw large swings
