This federal Project Grant award of $1,298,986 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program supports the development of a high-impact innovation called XTREMECAST. XTREMECAST integrates global ensemble weather forecasts with an AI-driven post-processing model to provide skillful probabilistic forecasts of compound extreme weather events at extended lead times. The proposed solution aims to improve electric utility companies' ability to manage the impacts of extreme weather and create more resilient energy systems through enhanced load planning. The project, awarded to Climate Forecast Applications Network, LLC in Reno, NV, will run from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2026. The technology has potential applications in the energy, insurance, emergency management, logistics, transportation, and construction sectors.
