Our focus

Start with your decision.
Evaluate the forecast behind it.

enercast provides weather-based power generation forecasts for wind and solar as software on one platform. Site forecasts address individual plants and parks. Area forecasts help teams work with generation across a region.

Traders use generation forecasts in day-ahead and intraday decisions. Direct marketers manage renewable portfolios and balancing-group work. Grid teams need an area view, while asset operators need forecasts that relate to their plants and measurements.

Evaluate forecasts against the decisions you make. Match the technology, region and forecast horizon, then compare predictions with measured generation over a clearly defined period.

Discuss the workflow, data and delivery needs behind your question. Contact enercast to ask about a product conversation, demo, trial or historical backtest. Availability and scope must be confirmed for each request.
