Use cases

Energy trading

Optimize your bidding with better information about future flows.

Industry-leading forecasts give energy traders the ability to bid more confidently into real-time markets and hedge long term risk.

HydroForecast provides both short-term and seasonal forecasts:

  • The short-term forecasts enable stronger day-ahead market participation – shifting exposure away from the dramatic swings of real-time markets.
  • Looking months ahead, seasonal forecasts help traders compare future generation to future demand, and hedge appropriately.

  • The analysis was for a 18MW plant with under an hour of storage, so most of the revenue increase came from improving trading decisions
