Get ahead of the curve: Amperon's renewable forecasts are coming soon

Last year, renewable generation surpassed coal and nuclear in the U.S. for the first time. With that mix expected to rise this year (wind increasing from 11% to 12% and solar 4% to 5%) it is more important than ever to have accurate forecasts for these intermittent, hard-to-predict sources. 

Next month, we will be releasing the latest feature to the Amperon platform: Net-Demand Forecasts. 

Built by the same data science team that won the top energy forecasting competition, the BigDEAL Challenge, two times in a row, our net-demand forecasts utilize granular weather points and site-specific wind and solar generation data to provide the highest-precision forecasts available. 

Amperon's Net-Demand Energy Forecasts show renewable forecasts for the next 14 days.

Net-Demand Forecast Features

This initial release is for ERCOT only and will provide:

  • Grid-scale forecast for the next 14 days
  • Updated hourly
  • Additional charts that breakout grid scale solar and wind generation forecasts
  • Overlays of the ISO’s net-demand, wind and solar forecasts
  • Comparisons of Amperon’s Day-Ahead forecasts vs the ISO’s Day-Ahead forecasts

Just in time for the summer, these forecasts will help our customers balance the volatility and risk that renewables bring to the grid. Stay tuned for more information.
