Machine-Learning Powered Nodal Forecasting
Power markets are dynamic. The acceleration of the energy transition injects significant variability and uncertainty. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind can be volatile in the short term but highly predictable as they strongly correlate with the weather. Non-homogeneous electricity prices due to different operating locations, market rules, operating models, climate change, and demand increase price volatility and can affect the accuracy of power plant valuations.
Discover how Power Evaluator delivers unique and advanced forecasting capabilities to mitigate the risk of power price fluctuations in power plant valuations.

Client Case Studies
A Leading Renewable Energy Financing Bank Gains Important Insights on US-based Opportunities
This leading bank in renewable energy financing set a goal to grow its footprint in the US market to capitalize on opportunities to fund a growing number of initiatives. However, the strategic planning team did not have an adequate forecasting solution to assess US energy operations. This left them unable to forecast energy prices, power curves, and future cashflows when assessing risk.

The renewable energy team at this large energy company is charged with implementing a strategy to penetrate the U.S. power market more aggressively. Given the size and growth of datacenters, the team needed insights into this segment of the market to make informed decisions about where to place new plants and at what price point for development or acquisition.
