Met Office and Grid Team Up to Boost Windfarm Productivity
Britain's energy future may depend as much on accurate weather forecasting as on the wind farms themselves. The National Energy System Operator (NESO) has formed a partnership with the Met Office to strengthen the nation’s ability to manage renewable energy amid increasingly extreme weather conditions.
Partnership Goals and Scope
The collaboration, outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding, formalizes closer work between the two organizations and places weather experts directly within NESO. This integration aims to enhance how Britain can prepare for storms, floods, and heatwaves that are becoming more common due to climate change.
“Accurate forecasting will be vital to protect infrastructure and ensure that renewable power is used efficiently when it’s available.”
Advancing Forecasting with Technology
NESO and the Met Office plan to share data and employ artificial intelligence to refine weather prediction models. Their efforts will also include advising the government on emerging risks related to climate and energy management.
Expert Integration and Future Planning
Met Office Fellow Dr Emily Wallace will join NESO on a secondment to provide expertise on the effects of climate and extreme weather on energy networks. Her role supports proactive planning and helps ensure smarter, more resilient energy operations.
“Their joint effort aims to make sure Britain stays a global leader in weather-informed energy planning.”
Author’s Summary
The Met Office and NESO are combining expertise and technology to make Britain’s renewable energy system more resilient and responsive to growing climate challenges.
