| Description: | "Variable renewable energy production is highly dependent on short-term weather changes. The difference between predicted and actual weather conditions causes financial losses for renewable energy providers for two reasons; unpredicted oversupply drives energy prices down in markets and undersupply drives prices up. During oversupply, energy providers cannot optimize selling price and during undersupply, energy providers pay a higher price to make up the shortfall in production on the market. This report investigates the complicated relationship between weather forecasting and energy production. We investigated the countries with the largest renewable energy markets, and those with high predicted growth of renewable energy usage. Our research shows there is potential to add value to energy markets by improving short-term weather forecasting." |
