Why is this service relevant?

Energy supply and demand are highly dependent on weather conditions, particularly when it comes to renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy. Timely information on the climate conditions in the following weeks and months is crucial for ensuring the transition to clean energy and the increased share of renewables in the energy system.

The S2S4E DST provides predictions on the climate conditions to users in the energy sector and beyond. This information is mainly valuable for users who base their operations and planning on the expected electricity demand and supply, particularly companies producing renewable energy (solar, wind and hydropower), grid operators and energy wholesale traders. It can also benefit users in other sectors, such as tourism and agriculture.
