Improve Efficiency and Decision Making through Accurate Weather Data
Meteomatics detailed weather forecasts are helping businesses within the energy sector gain weather insights, by giving access to a rich database of accurate and detailed weather forecasts.
Meteomatics’ API provides access to a range of weather parameters with incredible detail covering the globe!
Thus, helping to handle some of the major challenges of the energy sector:
-
Increasing importance of renewable energy sources due to the energy transition.
-
Increasing deployment of both wind and PV across Europe means that power systems are becoming highly dependent on the weather and will have more of influence on price.
-
Integration of weather data for the identification of market opportunities.
-
Monitoring and quantifying the weather risk.
The API is already consumed and trusted by organizations across the energy industry, including TSOs, DSOs and energy trading companies. Helping them improve operational efficiencies, maximize revenues and mitigate adverse weather impacts.
