The Importance of Machine Learning Base Models in the Electric Grid

The electric grid itself is just changing a lot over time. More people are putting in solar and storage, things like covid really change things like demand and supply of electricity so absoluely, you will see that the models, they're going to be more difficult on days that are outliers. For coved, certainly we saw our behavior change. But actually, i mean, our models really are quite adaptive. So even though you can really see the significant change in use of electricity that happened during coved, that actually didn't really impact our accuracy. We really maintained quite good metrics throughout that time.
