Markus Schwab
Weather Innovation Expert and Climatologist, Energy Specialist
Who Is Markus Schwab?
Markus Schwab is Weather Innovation Expert & Climatologist at Meteomatics, where he focuses on helping energy companies, grid operators, and traders build weather resilience strategies through high-resolution forecasting and real-time weather intelligence.
He holds a Diploma in Geography from Ruhr University Bochum, with a focus on climatology, renewable energy, and GIS, and is a certified wind energy expert from the University of Oldenburg. He has spent his entire twenty-year career at the intersection of meteorology and the energy sector — starting at EWC Weather Consult and Meteomedia, where he built his foundation in business development, product management, and key account management for weather-driven energy services. At MeteoGroup, he deepened his expertise as Key Account Manager for Energy, specialising in renewable energy forecasts and meteorological consulting for the German market. He subsequently joined UBIMET and later DTN as Business Development Manager, expanding his reach across European energy markets and working with weather-sensitive industries on data-driven decision-making.
Across these roles, Markus developed a sharp understanding of how forecast accuracy, data accessibility, and visualisation tools directly affect operational and trading decisions — particularly for balancing markets, spot trading, and grid management.
At Meteomatics, he brings that accumulated expertise to bear in positioning the company's weather intelligence capabilities within the energy sector, helping clients leverage high-resolution forecast models, robust weather APIs, and flexible visualisation tools to navigate an increasingly weather-dependent and climate-volatile energy landscape.
