Energy Plots

Designed for customers in the energy market, the energy plots show the national renewable energy forecast from Meteomatics. In a new tab or panel, click on ”Energy Plot”.

The default plot shows the wind power forecast for Germany over the next 2 weeks with forecasted power from the latest 2 model runs. The shaded area displays the delta between the forecast from the current run and the previous run. These deltas act as an indicator of forecast confidence: rather small differences between successive runs yield high forecast confidence

Users can compare the latest energy forecast with previous forecast runs directly within MetX energy plots.

By selecting historical forecasts, users can analyze how predictions have evolved over time, assess forecast consistency, and gain greater confidence in decision-making.

Users can also switch between MW and GW units, allowing forecast values to be displayed at the most appropriate scale for the selected region

In the panel banner, the title and date-time range and country can be changed. The forecast type (Wind power or Solar power) can be toggled using the buttons above the plot, or within the Layer Stack.

In the Layer Stack, under "Energy Forecast," the unit and country can be changed. Each source model (e.g. mm-euro1k, mix, ncep-gfs) is listed as its own entry in the Layer Stack, where the source, color, series type, and line type can be configured individually per model.

Historical forecast runs are accessible in a centralized "Previous runs" section within the Layer Stack, allowing different models and model runs to be toggled,
