Description

Add a way for grid price forecasts to be pulled in automatically instead of users setting them

We have access to resource data for wind, solar, and other technologies.
The grid could be seen as a similar entity.
We could allow price forecasts to be pulled from an online source.

Proposed solution

Add the capability for the grid to receive price information from an online source.
It's unclear to me what the best or easiest source would be, but maybe gridstatus or historical price information.

Additional context

Originally suggested by @vijay092 and I imagine @elenya-grant would have a good idea of how this could or should be done based on her work with resource handling.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing grid and resource-data handling mentioned in the issue. Compare possible online sources, including gridstatus or historical price data, and determine how forecast data would enter the grid. Done means the grid can receive price information automatically rather than requiring users to set it manually.
