The expansion brings Spire’s satellite-enhanced wind and solar generation forecasts to one of the fastest-growing energy markets in the United States.\n \n\n Powered by Spire’s\n \n High-Resolution Forecast model\n \n and advanced AI-driven modeling, the Power Generation Forecast delivers hourly power generation predictions for wind and solar. The forecasts integrate proprietary satellite data and advanced assimilation, including wind conditions at hub heights and surface solar radiation, to help energy traders, utilities, and grid operators anticipate fluctuations in renewable supply with greater accuracy. With this expansion, utilities, traders, grid operators, and renewable developers gain earlier visibility into shifts in wind and solar generation, helping manage volatility, optimize day-ahead and real-time bidding strategies, and maintain reliability during periods of tight grid conditions.\n \n\n “Recent\n \n NERC assessments\n \n show rising, around-the-clock electricity demand from data centers alongside winter conditions that can strain generation resources,” said Shawn Mechelke, General Manager of Spire Weather & Climate. “Spire’s Power Generation Forecast uses AI and satellite-enhanced data to translate atmospheric dynamics into hour-by-hour, MW-level outlooks that customers can act on immediately. As new technologies, including AI, increase demand across the grid, we provide utilities, traders, and energy providers the clear, reliable power insight they need to operate with confidence.”\n \n\n The Company's Power Generation Forecasts are already in use across key European markets, including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, and the United Kingdom.
