Impact Profiles Bulk Download Removal

We're notifying you of an important update addressing system integrity and usability improvements.

Removal of "Download Impact Profiles" Library Feature

We have retired the "Download Impact Profiles" bulk download functionality. This feature, which allowed the exportation of all Impact Profiles including hourly data, is no longer sustainable due to increased system demands:

  • Reason: Given the expanded library of load shape derived impact profiles, utilizing the feature could result in critical memory failures.

  • Usage Analysis: Data shows that there has been no usage of this feature since June 2025.

  • Future Opportunities: If bulk download functionality is desired, it can be reinstated with enhanced safeguards or implemented as smaller, optimized export methods.

Information for Users

  • Individual Impact Profiles remain downloadable.

  • Requests for specific bulk data can be addressed by our development team.
