z10     31.46       2.68    -8.31      65.24     T05

System WAPE 7.97%  vs  median zone WAPE 8.95%
Findings:
 (1) near-duplicate zones z2/z3/z7 fit IDENTICALLY (~6.2%) — confirms §1's redundancy.
 (2) most stable zones land 6–11% regardless of SIZE — even the smallest, z4 (0.5 GW), fits at 6.4%.
 (3) zone.10 EXPLODES (WAPE 65%, R² < 0): its 2008 load is 2.7× its history — a STRUCTURAL BREAK no weather/calendar model can foresee.
An independent per-zone fit has nothing to restrain that extrapolation. Pooling toward the grid
consensus (§4) stabilizes small/noisy zones, damps runaway zones like z10, and — crucially — returns
the predictive DISTRIBUTIONS the optimizer in §7–§8 consumes.

Point forecasts are close — benchmark and boosted trees land within a point of each other (load's
'flat maximum'). The intervals, though, are BOTH mis-calibrated on this 5-month-ahead test: the
constant Gaussian band over-covers (~96%, too wide), while the conditional quantile band
under-covers (~51%, too narrow out-of-sample). Well-calibrated uncertainty this far ahead is
genuinely hard bolted onto a point model — it needs either a principled predictive distribution
(the Bayesian route, §4) or a distribution-free wrapper like conformal prediction (see the ML
model-evaluation notebook). And operationally the target is the DAY-AHEAD forecast (§6), a much
shorter horizon where calibration is achievable — this static 5-month band is a stress test.

  units committed at peak — point-only 5, reserve-rule 7, stochastic 9 of 10

Even a 15% reserve rule can be caught short by a correlated weather swing; the stochastic plan puts
reserve exactly where the scenarios say it is needed. Committing for the bare point forecast is far
worse still — it sheds load on every high-demand day, which is why operators never actually do it.

VSS = $369,446/day is what optimizing against the scenario distribution saves over a 15% reserve
rule — money that would otherwise be spent on recourse and shedding when a high-demand day lands.
Right: even the reserve-rule plan sheds in the top scenarios; the stochastic plan keeps the lights
on across the distribution by committing reserve where the scenarios actually place the risk.

Field	Meaning	Notes
`DateTime`	Hourly timestamp	2004-01-01 00:00 → 2008-05-31 23:00, no gaps
`zone.1 … zone.20`	Hourly load (demand) of each of 20 grid zones, in MW	The bottom level of the hierarchy
`zone.21`	Hourly system load — the metered total for the whole utility	The top of the hierarchy
`T01 … T11`	Hourly temperature at 11 weather stations, in °F	No published mapping of stations → zones

Family	Examples	Where it wins for load
Regression on weather/calendar features	OLS (this §), ridge/lasso, GAM with temperature splines	Strong, interpretable workhorse; hard to beat cheaply
Classical time series	SARIMA/SARIMAX, ETS/Holt-Winters, TBATS, Prophet	Short horizons; mops up autocorrelation — but awkward at hourly triple seasonality (see §3)
Gradient-boosted trees	LightGBM/XGBoost (§3) (quantile variants for intervals)	Non-linear interactions "for free"; wins many recent competitions
Hierarchical / Bayesian	hierarchical regression (§4), Gaussian processes	Many related series, small/noisy nodes, need calibrated uncertainty
Deep learning	LSTM, temporal CNN, DeepAR, N-BEATS/N-HiTS, Temporal Fusion Transformer	Very large multi-series data, rich covariates, longer horizons
