Jua's Power Forecast is an end-to-end model trained directly on actual generation data, delivering renewable energy generation forecasts in MW for power trading and grid management.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Power Forecast vs Market Aggregates MW** — The Power Forecast is a purpose-built model trained on real generation data, providing a forecast of **actual production**. [Market Aggregates with MW output](https://docs.jua.ai/api-v2/query-engine/market-aggregates) applies generic power curves to weather forecasts, providing a model-specific forecast of **potential production**. Power Forecast is significantly more accurate for the zones it covers. Both use the same facility datasets.
