The Swiss Federal Electricity Commission (Elcom) has tightened the reins: energy providers who disrupt the balance of electricity production and consumption now face sanctions.
SN Energie, an innovative pioneer in expanding sustainable energy sources, relies on solutions from Meteotest. Thanks to a customized implementation based on the powerful Meteonorm Forecast API, SN Energie utilizes precise solar forecasts aggregated for its supply area. These forecasts are continuously optimized by a machine learning algorithm that incorporates ongoing production data. Based on these forecasts, SN Energie knows the solar production for the next 72 hours within its balancing group with high precision.
Meteotest's solution offers SN Energie several advantages: it ensures compliance with Elcom's requirements, supports more informed decisions in the electricity market, and promotes grid stability as well as the efficiency of renewable energy production.
With the progression of the energy transition, accurate solar forecasts are becoming increasingly vital. Meteotest optimized their forecasting product to our specific needs, which allowed for seamless integration into our processes. They provide us with a valuable and reliable forecast for solar production within our balancing group.
