Service 1 of 4 · Market modelling & price forecasting

Power market modelling and price forecasting you can act on.

Fundamentals-based models of power and gas markets that turn assumptions about demand, fuel, carbon, policy and new build into price forecasts your traders, analysts and board can trust.

What it is

Where are power and gas prices heading, and why?

We build and run market models that simulate how supply, demand, interconnection and policy interact to set prices, from hourly dispatch to multi-decade outlooks. Every forecast comes with a clear assumptions book, so you can see what drives the numbers and test what happens when those drivers change.

As renewables, storage and flexible demand reshape price formation, forecasting has become more complex and more consequential. We help you capture those dynamics, including capture prices, cannibalisation and volatility, in forecasts that inform trading, hedging, investment and strategy.

Fundamentals-based forecasts, built on transparent assumptions you can challenge.
Why it matters

The value to your business.

Decisions grounded in fundamentals

Prices are explained by the system, not extrapolated from history, so forecasts hold up as markets change.

Transparent assumptions

A documented assumptions book lets stakeholders challenge inputs rather than distrust outputs.

Scenario thinking

Central, high and low cases plus policy and technology scenarios show the range of outcomes, not just one number.

Renewables-ready

Capture prices, cannibalisation and negative-price risk are modelled explicitly for wind, solar and storage.

How we do it

Our method, step by step.

01
Scope and market design
  • Define the decision the forecast must support
  • Agree markets, zones, horizon and time resolution
  • Choose the right modelling tool for the question
02
Data and assumptions
  • Build demand, fuel, carbon and new-build assumptions
  • Represent interconnectors, policy and market rules
  • Document everything in a shared assumptions book
03
Model build and calibration
  • Construct or update the market model
  • Back-test against historical prices and dispatch
  • Calibrate until results are explainable and robust
04
Scenarios and insight
  • Run central, high, low and bespoke scenarios
  • Produce price curves, capture prices and volatility metrics
  • Translate results into clear implications for your business
