Improving the accuracy of weather forecasting with AI: An interview with Marvin Gabler, co-founder and CEO of Jua

Climate change is making weather patterns more volatile and harder to predict. This has direct consequences for the energy sector. From renewable generation planning to balancing grids during peak demand, the difference between a good forecast and a bad one can mean millions in lost revenue or unnecessary emissions. The growing share of renewables makes the sector more weather-dependent than ever, and without reliable foresight, grid stability, trading strategies, and operational planning are all at risk.
