What you'll discover in this report

  • How mid-term forecasting supports planning weeks to months ahead.
  • Why weather-driven demand visibility matters for energy markets.
  • What challenges arise when forecasting beyond short-term horizons.
  • How improved modeling enhances operational and market decision-making.
  • As extreme weather patterns accelerate and energy markets grow more volatile, forward-looking organizations are reevaluating how they model demand at the sub-seasonal and seasonal horizon.

    This white paper outlines Amperon's new forecasting framework that combines the robustness of ECMWF’s sub-seasonal ensemble data with proprietary machine learning interpolation techniques.

    The result is a significant advancement in accuracy and granularity for mid-term energy demand forecasts.

    In this white paper, we examine:

    • An in-depth look at known biases in traditional seasonal weather models and how to correct for them
    • The importance of dynamically integrating climate signals such as ENSO and NAO
    • A technical breakdown of Amperon’s hybrid forecasting approach and why it outperforms static methods
    • Strategic applications for traders, grid operators, and utilities managing long-range risk and hedging positions
