Improving Hydropower Management: Østfold Energi’s Call for Smarter Data and Decision Tools
How can Østfold Energi enhance hydropower management through smarter use of data and models – strengthening both operations and decision-making for faster, safer, and more sustainable outcomes?
Hydropower is one of our most important renewable energy sources, but its production is affected by many factors: weather, water levels, market prices, and technical availability.
Østfold Energi is a data-driven company with modern platforms and tools for analysis, modeling, and decision support. We already have access to large volumes of data – but still see significant potential for improving insights through new data sources and solutions.
Current challenges include the transition from hourly to 15-minute power markets, the emergence of increasingly complex markets with varying bidding deadlines, and a growing need for greater flexibility and precision in production planning. Additionally, there is an increasing demand for improved decision support for both operational activities and investment decisions.
We are therefore looking for solutions that provide access to new or improved data sources, insights that can strengthen decision support, modeling, and monitoring, and ideas that challenge current practices and open up new ways of using data.
