Reduce Imbalance Costs by 20% with EURO1k and US1k, Exclusive Weather Models Available Through the Meteomatics Weather API

The share of renewable energy in the electricity grid continues to grow, but the intermittent nature of solar and wind power is driving up balancing costs and increasing financial risks for energy companies.

A leading European energy provider recently found that Meteomatics' EURO1k weather model reduces imbalance costs by up to 20%, significantly outperforming other forecasting models.

For example, a company managing a 1 GW portfolio of solar, onshore wind, or offshore wind energy could face annual balancing costs in the millions of euros. By leveraging EURO1k, these costs can be reduced by 20%, generating potential savings of up to 2.5 million euros per year in certain scenarios — delivering a strong return on investment.

What Makes 1k Models So Special?

  • Native spatial resolution of 1 km (further downscaled to 90m)
  • Native temporal resolution of 15 minutes
  • Forecast lead time of 72 hours
  • Geographical coverage across all of Europe
  • Hourly updates, integrating all available measurement and observation data from Europe
  • Exclusive integration of weather data captured by Meteodrones   Over 1800 weather parameters
  • Real-time data and historical data
  • Boundary condition: ECMWF-IFS
  • Running on ca. 60,000 CPUs across 300 HPC compute nodes
