Short-term
Improve bidding into tomorrow's market with hourly forecasts for the next 10 days.
Trade with clarity,
bid with confidence
Hydro generation is one of the biggest swing variables in power markets — and one of the hardest to price. HydroForecast gives traders in hydro-driven markets a clear view of what's coming, from tomorrow's bid to next year's hedge.
Gain an edge in hydro-driven markets
with HydroForecast
Hydro supply drives power prices — but it doesn't move on a clean schedule, and most models break down at the extremes that move markets most. HydroForecast closes that gap with theory-guided AI.
Revenue
Capture more value from every trade
Schedule generation and bid into peak-price windows with a clearer read on supply. Reduce imbalance penalties and recover revenue otherwise lost to unplanned spill.
Risk management
Hedge against real ranges, not single numbers
Probabilistic forecasts show the full range of likely outcomes — so you can size short-term hedges to your actual risk tolerance and build longer-dated positions on seasonal and annual signal, not historical patterns alone.
Peak accuracy
Plan for extreme generation swings
Atmospheric rivers, droughts, and snowpack anomalies create the largest generation swings — and the biggest price dislocations. Theory-guided AI stays accurate through these extremes precisely when simpler models break down.
