# Elec2

Electricity prices in New South Wales.

This is a binary classification task, where the goal is to predict if the price of electricity will go up or down.

This data was collected from the Australian New South Wales Electricity Market. In this market, prices are not fixed and are affected by demand and supply of the market. They are set every five minutes. Electricity transfers to/from the neighboring state of Victoria were done to alleviate fluctuations.
