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.
