Renewable energy modelling
We undertake commercial R&D and provide independent technical support to help assess the impact of weather and climate on the energy sector. Our work includes solar and wind generation planning, energy transition modelling, assessing the impact of extreme weather on network resilience and analysing future energy markets.
Weather and climate analysis
With access to global meteorological and climate data, satellite-based observations and in-house WRF modelling capability, our scientific experts can support your weather and climate modelling. From short data analysis projects to climate impact studies, we can help you make more informed decisions when considering environmental change.
Bespoke software and data visualisation
We specialise in the development of software tools that help you gain actionable insight from data. From bespoke data visualisations to automating a workflow or developing new tools or prototypes, our engineers will help you turn complex environmental and business data into valuable information that helps support your decision making.

Products
Our commercial software products have been developed entirely in-house as a result of long-term R&D projects with clients. Provided on a SaaS-basis they are designed to provide users with deep insight into impact of weather and climate variability on renewable energy generation and risk management in the agri-food sector.
EnergyMetric is cutting-edge SaaS software to support the energy transition. From utility-scale solar and wind projects through to complex hybrid portfolios and national roadmaps, EnergyMetric supports accurate generation planning and assessment of renewable energy developments.
WeatherAsset turns global weather data into strategic insight for companies across the food supply chain, saving time and effort assessing how the weather might impact crop prices, quality, demand and supply. From a single farm to hundreds of locations worldwide, WeatherAsset makes it easy to undertake real time analysis of weather impacts.
Project Stories
Monitoring weather and climate risks to electricity networks
Extreme weather events are causing greater uncertainty to infrastructure owners and operators. Physical damage to assets as well as disruption to services and field operations lead to higher O&M costs and potential penalties for regulated utilities. On top of this, climate...
