The wind energy output predictions from AleaSoft Energy Forecasting for the week of October 24 predicts increases in production in Germany and France, while there may be decreases in this technology’s use in Spain, Italy, and Portugal. For some European markets, AleaSoft Energy Forecasting and AleaGreen are offering a customized special promotion of the revised long-term price curve forecasting reports. When compared to other suppliers, these reports provide a number of benefits. As was discussed in the webinar with speakers from Deloitte, AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, and AleaGreen held on October 20, one of the features that distinguishes them is that they include hourly price forecasts covering a horizon of up to 30 years. This level of detail is essential for the accounting of renewable energy projects.
