Using **simplified spatial weather data** (52 grid points), **top 50 CNECs** identified by binding frequency, and **streamlined features** (75-85 total), we leverage Chronos 2's **pre-trained capabilities** for **zero-shot inference** to predict transmission capacity 1-14 days ahead. + +**MVP Philosophy**: Predict capacity constraints through weatherâ†'CNECâ†'capacity relationships using Chronos 2's existing knowledge, without model fine-tuning.
