Short-term
Improve day-to-day scheduling and dam safety decisions with hourly forecasts for the next 10 days.
For hydropower producers
From inflow to output, generate with confidence
Scheduling generation, protecting critical infrastructure, and navigating relicensing all depend on knowing what's coming. HydroForecast gives producers the confidence to schedule and the lead time to act.
Built for the decisions your fleet makes every day
Revenue
Convert inflow into revenue, not spill
Schedule generation and bid into peak-price windows with a clearer read on inflow. Reduce imbalance penalties and recover revenue otherwise lost to unplanned spill.
Safety & resilience
Draw down before it's an emergency
See further ahead so your team can act, not react. Draw down reservoirs early, trigger emergency action plans sooner, and protect downstream communities before extreme weather escalates.
Operations
Balance generation with every competing demand
Balance seasonal drawdown, maintenance windows, and water allocation across competing demands — generation, environmental flows, and downstream use — with forecasts that hold up when conditions change, including basins where snowmelt drives seasonal volume.
Compliance
Turn relicensing into a competitive advantage
Meet regulatory requirements — from FERC relicensing to environmental flow obligations — with proactive, data-driven reporting. Extend consistent flow information to ungauged tributaries where oversight has historically been limited.
One forecast partner, multiple planning horizons
From tomorrow's generation to next year's capital budget — one forecast partner across every horizon, no stitching together separate tools.
Short-term
Seasonal
Plan reservoir drawdown, maintenance windows, and water-supply positioning with daily forecasts out 90 days.
Annual
Support capital planning, asset valuation, and long-term resilience with daily forecasts up to a year out.
Global reach
One partner for every kind of hydropower operation
Hydropower producers face very different challenges depending on where they operate — glacial-fed rivers in Iceland, snowmelt season in cold regions like Canada, multi-asset trading portfolios across North America. HydroForecast is built to handle that range, not just one region's hydrology.
Now forecasting on six continents.
Talented and responsive team
A truly talented and responsive team, always quick to address issues and committed to improving the forecasts — even in Iceland, one of the most challenging regions for hydrologic modeling.
Utilizing it daily for hydro optimization
Snowmelt season is critical for our hydroelectric operations. HydroForecast has been helpful monitoring freshet closely — the forecast performance is strong and we've been utilizing it daily for hydro optimization.
A truly successful project
HydroForecast has proven to be an important datapoint for reservoir planning and management, leading to a more proactive approach to short- and mid-term planning and enhanced trading and operational decision-making.
Why hydropower producers choose HydroForecast
Built for the extremes that risk assets
Theory-guided AI stays accurate through storms, droughts, and snowpack anomalies — not just steady-state conditions. In an independent competition, HydroForecast outperformed in 23 of 25 categories.
Continuous coverage, no blackout windows
A multi-model ensemble keeps forecasts running even when gauges or weather data drop out — so a storm knocking out a sensor doesn't also knock out your ability to make dispatch and safety calls.
Built on deep hydrology and modeling experience
HydroForecast is designed by a team with years of hands-on experience in hydrology and hydrologic modeling — expertise built into the model, not added on top.
