''This page is about the applications of machine learning (ML) in the context of electricity supply forecasting. For an overview of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_forecasting energy forecasting], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_forecasting wind], or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_forecasting solar forecasting] more generally, please see the Wikipedia page on this topic.''
The supply and demand of power must both be forecast ahead of time to inform electricity planning and scheduling. ML can help make these forecasts more accurate, improve temporal and spatial resolution, and quantify uncertainty.
