AI-Powered API to Forecast Day-Ahead Electricity Prices

Hacker News

Hi all! I wanted to integrate electricity price forecasts into my HomeAssistant setup so I could do cool automations like waiting to start the laundry until prices are lower. However, I couldn’t find a good API for forecasting day-ahead electricity prices, so… I built one! This API forecasts electricity prices for the Netherlands, using AI and machine learning under the hood to provide pretty decent estimates. I plan to keep improving it and expand it to other electricity markets. With this API, you can: - Predict electricity prices for the Dutch day-ahead market. - Use the forecasts to optimize energy usage in your smart home setup. This is an MVP, and I’d love to hear your feedback or ideas to make it even better! API Documentation: https://forge-forecasts.onrender.com/ Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
