Met Office and Grid Team Up to Boost Windfarm Productivity
Britain’s energy future increasingly relies on accurate weather forecasts alongside renewable energy sources. The National Energy System Operator (NESO) has formed a partnership with the Met Office to enhance the country’s readiness for extreme weather and optimize renewable energy use.
Strengthened Collaboration Through Memorandum of Understanding
The new agreement embeds weather expertise directly within NESO, reinforcing cooperation between the organizations. This initiative responds to the growing challenges posed by climate change, such as more frequent storms, floods, and heatwaves, which intensify pressure on the energy system.
Improving Forecasting to Protect Energy Infrastructure
Accurate weather predictions are essential for safeguarding infrastructure and maximizing the efficient use of renewable power when available. NESO and the Met Office will share data and utilize artificial intelligence to enhance forecasting models.
Advisory Role and Climate Expertise
Together, the two bodies will advise the government on future risks linked to weather and climate. Met Office Fellow Dr. Emily Wallace will join NESO on secondment, bringing specialist knowledge about the impacts of climate and extreme weather on energy networks.
“Her role will help energy planners anticipate challenges before they hit and spot opportunities for smarter, more resilient operations.”
This partnership aims to ensure Britain remains a world leader in integrating weather into energy system planning.
Summary: The Met Office and NESO partnership integrates advanced weather forecasting and AI to strengthen Britain's renewable energy system against climate-driven extreme weather risks.
