Is anyone aware of good sources of higher resolution models? Hourly resolution like this model provides doesn’t help much now that energy markets have moved to 15-min and 5-min resolution.

Sure - you'd simply use a regional, high-resolution model. In some parts of the world, these exist for free (e.g. NOAA runs the HRRR [and soon the RRFS] over CONUS, which is re-run every hour and outputs data on a ~3km grid at up to 15 minute temporal resolution). There exist vendors that will run a custom NWP simulation over a region-of-interest for clients, typically forced by GFS or ECMWF forecasts at the boundaries; some power users of these type of data even have internal teams that will do this. And in this arena are models like StormCast and CorrDiff from NVIDIA - which a few weather companies have white-labeled to replace the NWP models they used to run as mentioned above.
