What you'll discover in this report

  • How weather drives energy demand, generation, and grid conditions.
  • Why seasonal forecasting matters for planning and market strategy.
  • What key climate patterns shape long-range energy outcomes.
  • How better forecasting supports risk management across the value chain.
  • Seasonal weather patterns play a major role in shaping energy demand, renewable output, and market behavior. As grids become more weather-sensitive, understanding these seasonal drivers is essential for anyone involved in planning, trading, or operating within power markets. While AI now helps utilities and power producers analyze massive amounts of data for better predictions, understanding how seasonal weather patterns affect energy systems remains critical.
