A new service is available for monitoring the energy weather. The Finnish Meteorological Institute’s (FMI) solar and wind power production forecasts convert the sunshine and wind over the following few days into kilowatt-hours.
For example, the information enables them to anticipate when plenty of solar power will be available so that they can time their consumption accordingly. On the other hand, consumption can be reduced if cloudy and windless weather is forecast because wind power will be scarce. The wind power production forecast shows the total power production of wind turbines in Finland over the following few days. The solar power production forecast shows sunshine as the power produced by a solar power plant at different locations over the following few days. The solar and wind power production forecasts are based on the weather data produced by the joint Nordic MetCoOp weather forecasting system. The forecasts can be used free of charge on the FMI website.
