Seasonal forecasts are growing in importance for the power grid planning, especially, where hydropower, storage and other technologies are involved. This topic is also interlinked to the uncertainty forecasting work stream and will focus on the communication between weather and energy community. Seasonal forecasts are a subset of weather forecasting, and are therefore managed by WP1. WP3 will interlink these communities and serve as a platform to establish new applications for the use of seasonal forecasting in the energy community and the transformation into a carbon free energy system.
