Cut imbalance costs and boost transmission capacity with physics-based, sub-km weather intelligence.

Reduce imbalance costs by 20%

The integration of intermittent renewables has driven up financial risks; a single GW portfolio can face millions in annual balancing costs due to forecast errors. Industry benchmarks show that moving from global models (ECMWF-IFS) to high-resolution local modeling can reduce these imbalance costs by up to 20%.

Weatherwise targets this specific margin. By simulating wind and solar assets at 200m and 1km resolution, we resolve the local cloud dynamics and terrain-induced wind shear that global models miss. This precision transforms potential losses into trading yields, helping you balance supply and demand with confidence.

Unlock grid capacity (Dynamic Line Rating)

Building new infrastructure is expensive; optimizing existing assets is the smart alternative. Leading grid operators have demonstrated that high-quality weather data can boost high-voltage transmission capacity by an average of 25%, and up to 40% in specific scenarios.

This is "Dynamic Line Rating" driven by physics. Weatherwise models the exact cooling effect of wind and ambient temperature along your transmission corridors. This allows operators to push more power safely through existing lines when conditions permit, enhancing efficiency and delaying costly infrastructure upgrades.

Extreme weather & asset protection

Damages related to extreme weather cost the industry billions, and these events are becoming more frequent. Global models often fail to resolve the intensity of localized threats, such as convective storms or icing events, leaving assets vulnerable.

Weatherwise empowers you to anticipate these threats and respond faster. By resolving the atmosphere at 200m, we identify specific corridors of risk for high winds, lightning, or heavy icing. This precision allows operators to schedule preventive maintenance effectively and trigger safety protocols exactly when needed, protecting your infrastructure from physical damage.

Hydropower & asset management

Accurate hydrology relies on precise meteorology. In complex terrain, coarse models smooth out the mountains, drastically underestimating "orographic enhancement"—the physical process where terrain forces air upwards to create rain.

Our physics-based models capture these vertical interactions explicitly. Whether you manage single hydropower plants or entire catchments, we provide the granular precipitation and inflow forecasts required for safe reservoir operations. This ensures you can maximize storage efficiency while strictly adhering to safety margins during heavy rainfall events.

Grid resilience and demand

Energy companies spend excessive time manually interpreting vague weather data. Automated, high-precision feeds can reduce time spent on daily weather-related tasks by 50%.

Beyond time savings, our sub-km resolution sharpens demand forecasting. Whether it is predicting gas demand during a cold snap or managing inventory for thousands of grocery sites, we resolve the local temperature variations that drive consumption. This allows utilities to retain operational resiliency while using network assets more efficiently.

From historical training to real-time forecasts

Accuracy is not a guess; it is trained. Similar to the industry's best practices, Weatherwise begins by training our physics-based models using your asset’s historical data. This creates a customized profile for your wind farm or solar park.

Once operational, we deliver updates every 15 minutes via API or SFTP. You receive power forecasts in your preferred unit (MW, kWh), ready to be fed directly into your trading algorithms or energy management systems.
