Amperon

Amperon is an energy analytics company that produces machine-learning-based electricity demand and renewable generation forecasts for participants in power markets. Its platform ingests actual consumption data from metered customers together with roughly 40,000 ensembled weather points sourced from four weather vendors plus its own weather ensemble, and produces short-term forecasts extending 15 days ahead that refresh on a sub-hourly basis. Coverage spans 26 grids across North America, Europe and Australia.

The product set is organized around four use cases: load risk management (integrated forecasts of weather events, market fluctuations and customer contract requirements), power markets trading (short-term and intra-day demand, renewables generation, net demand and weather-scenario sensitivity), demand management (dedicated coincident-peak models used to anticipate peak periods and trigger demand response), and asset optimization for solar and wind fleets. Amperon states it forecasts 103 renewable assets representing about 4.9 GW of capacity, manages 51 million meters, and forecasts 2.5 million retail meters across five ISOs.

Amperon sells forecasting and analytics as a subscription software product, delivered through its own SaaS user interface or via API, with additional delivery through Snowflake and Yes Energy integrations. Customers are organizations that buy, sell, deliver or hedge electricity.
