Seasonal Forecasts and Their Use in the Energy Sector

Webinar 1400-1530 UTC, 30^th November 2022

 

This free virtual event will bring together weather and climate scientists, operational seasonal forecasters and representatives from across the energy sector to discuss how seasonal forecasts are used in the energy sector, and take a look ahead to the 2022/23 winter seasonal forecast.

Adam Scaife, Head of Monthly to Decadal Prediction at the Met Office, will introduce what a seasonal forecast is, what uncertainties are associated with them and how they have improved over the last few decades. He will then examine the 2022/23 winter seasonal forecast from the Met Office and other leading seasonal forecast providers. This will be followed by short responses from a range of energy sector representatives, including traders, suppliers and system operators. These responders will explain how seasonal forecasts are used at their organisations, how they deal with changes in the forecasts, and what the latest seasonal forecast may mean for their work. There will then be the opportunity for questions from and discussion with the audience.

Seasonal forecasts have inherent uncertainty, and different models give different forecasts, so there will be a discussion of the errors involved in long-range forecasting, including how the energy sector can account for this.
