Respond Decisively To Volatility

Extreme weather, electrification, market pressures, and rapid load growth are reshaping energy demand. MCast helps you anticipate shifts and act before they impact reliability or cost.

Reduce Imbalance Costs By 20-35%

Turn volatile weather and load patterns into accurate forecasts that tighten nominations and minimize penalty exposure.

Reduce Risk Before It Becomes Exposure

Over- or under-procurement can be costly. MCast’s adaptive forecasts turn abnormal load behavior and dynamic conditions into actionable insight, reducing risk before it escalates.

Defend Methodology Under Scrutiny

25+ years of regulatory-tested methodology that holds up in rate cases, supply filings, and public hearings.

Plan Confidently Across Time Horizons

From next-day operations to 10–20 year capacity planning, MCast gives you clarity and confidence when decisions matter most.

Reduce Weekly Forecasting Time By 15–20 Hours

Eliminate manual Excel processes and SCADA reconciliation.

Gain Competitiveness

Get an advantage in negotiations with proprietary algorithms that outperform generic models.

Outperform DIY Models By 25-40%

Proprietary algorithms trained on 28% of U.S. gas consumption beat generic statistical models and in-house modeling.
