Energy Forecasting

For Solar, Wind and Hydropower

Meteomatics supports energy forecasting at two levels: raw meteorological inputs and ready-to-use power forecasts. Access solar irradiance, hub-height wind, temperature, and cloud cover from global and high-resolution downscaled models through one RESTful Weather API, or receive ready-made solar and wind generation forecasts at individual-asset and portfolio level. Delivered as time series, grids, or polygons across historical, real-time, and forecast horizons, in JSON, CSV, or NetCDF for direct integration into load, generation, and trading models.
