source_published_at_utcrequiredtimestampWhen PJM evaluated this forecast, UTC — the vintage. Every publication is kept, so one interval carries a row per vintage that covered it.e.g. 2026-09-10T02:15:00Z

Full parameters — bucketing, aggregation, filters and search — are on the API reference.

Ask an agent

The same stream through the Model Context Protocol, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client can query it directly.

shell
claude mcp add --transport http dryos https://api.dryos.ai/mcp

Then ask:

What has Total out been at PJM RTO over the last 24 hours, and when did it peak?

Setup for every client is on the MCP server page.

Changes to this collector

A change in the collector is a change in the data. Anyone reading a step in a series is owed the day it moved under them.

  1. 2026-09-13

    First collected, from PJM Data Miner 2.

    PJM's daily generation outage forecasts, kept by PJM indefinitely. Reconciled against live responses on 2026-09-13.

How this stream is checked

  • Pulled straight from PJM Data Miner 2 · gen_outages_by_type — no reseller in between — and compared against that file before it is served.
  • Null means the source did not report it — never zero.
  • A reading lands daily, a week ahead; the interval timestamp is the start of the interval, in UTC.
  • PJM's Eastern Prevailing Time observes daylight saving; its rows carry UTC as well. Every timestamp Dryos serves is UTC.
