Weather integrations for software applications
Weather has a foundational impact on energy producers, utilities, grid operators, and power generators. Use cases range from weather's effect on equipment, to the safety of crews in the field, to load forecasting and pricing. Our API & Mapping products can deliver a robust array of environmental data parameters and map layers for any location on the planet.
Wind and solar energy production
With the surge in renewable energy production, the industry is evolving from forecasting demand to dispatch generation and moving instead to forecasting generation and dispatching load to match it. Our industry-leading software allows owners and operators to build the best projects at the right locations, optimize operations, and maximize their value in the marketplace.
