Summary

This webinar showcased how Meteomatics’ high-resolution weather data and MetX platform enable utilities and energy market participants to turn forecasts into actionable decisions. Experts from Yes Energy and NorthWestern Energy demonstrated how Meteomatics’ technology enhances forecasting accuracy, operational safety, and long-term resilience in a changing climate.

Yes Energy’s Ben Perry showed how precise, continuously updated weather inputs from Meteomatics improve load forecasting models by capturing shifting demand patterns driven by rising temperatures and expanding air-conditioning use. His analysis revealed how weather sensitivity varies across regions like the Pacific Northwest and New England — data that traders and utilities now rely on to refine operations and optimize strategy.

NorthWestern Energy’s meteorologist Matt Sargent detailed how Meteomatics’ MetX platform supports wildfire risk mitigation. By combining Meteomatics’ weather data with asset health information, NorthWestern Energy monitors 649 zones in real time and receives automated alerts when custom thresholds for wind or humidity are exceeded. During a recent high-risk event, 14 of 16 alerts verified accurately, giving field teams nearly 48 hours’ lead time to adjust system settings and prevent ignition.

Together, these cases demonstrate how Meteomatics transforms weather data into operational intelligence, empowering energy companies to make faster, data-driven decisions for reliability, safety, and performance.
