Ensemble Forecast Accuracy Day-Ahead ERCOT: Key Benchmarks

1 / 5

Day-ahead ERCOT accuracy is benchmarked. Typical MAPE targets sit in the low single digits for load and mid single digits for wind, solar, and hub LMPs.

2 / 5

Ensemble forecasts such as EPT-2e cut MAPE by roughly 30–50% versus deterministic NWP baselines by quantifying uncertainty and improving coverage during heat waves and winter storms.

3 / 5

Wind ramps and cloud-cover swings remain the largest forecast risks. EPT-2e’s four daily updates and 5 km grid resolve mesoscale patterns that coarser models miss.

4 / 5

Better meteorology from ensembles flows directly into tighter LMP forecasts at major ERCOT hubs by reducing upstream load, wind, and solar errors that drive scarcity pricing.
