01 — THE APPROACH

Weather is a driver.
Uncertainty is the signal.

Wind and sunlight influence renewable generation. Temperature shapes demand. We’re developing the link between those weather scenarios and the electricity market.

01

Start with possibilities.

AI weather forecasts describe a range of outcomes. Our existing pipeline processes these forecasts and calibrates temperature probabilities against local observations.

WEATHER DISTRIBUTIONS
02

Connect weather to power.

Our next research step is to translate wind, solar, and temperature scenarios into estimates of renewable generation and electricity demand.

GENERATION + DEMAND · PLANNED
03

Build a market view.

We plan to train machine-learning models that combine weather signals with market fundamentals to estimate day-ahead electricity price distributions.

PRICE SCENARIOS · IN DEVELOPMENT

Weather is one part of the price picture. Fuel costs, plant availability, cross-border flows, and market conditions also matter.

02 — FOLLOW THE SIGNAL

A different forecast.
A different curve.

Explore a simplified example of how weather can change the shape of a power price scenario.

03 — FROM RESEARCH TO PRODUCT

A working foundation.
A focused next step.

Frontcurve is an independent AI startup. We’re developing a subscription dashboard and API for weather-driven electricity market research, starting with Germany’s day-ahead market.

WORKING TODAY

The weather foundation

  • AI weather forecast processing
  • Local temperature calibration using observations
  • Scheduled forecast pipelines on Google Cloud
  • Validated, versioned forecast artifacts

We use existing AI weather models as inputs and develop our own calibration and processing layer. Electricity price forecasting performance remains to be evaluated.
