CAISO Today's Outlook Data Feeds

The CSV feeds behind CAISO's public Today's Outlook dashboard. Anonymous GET requests to https://www.caiso.com/outlook/current/{report}.csv return the current operating day at five-minute resolution, and https://www.caiso.com/outlook/history/{YYYYMMDD}/{report}.csv returns a past day. Confirmed reports are fuelsource (generation by fuel including solar, wind, batteries and imports), demand, netdemand, and co2 (emissions by resource type). CAISO notes these are telemetry-based summaries and will not tie out to the market-based numbers in OASIS.
