About

Why we built Full Load Forecasting

Markets don’t move like static datasets. They flip regimes, reroute power along constraint corridors, and surprise even seasoned desks. We founded Full Load Forecasting to model the grid the way operators experience it: adaptively, transparently, and fast enough to matter.

Built for regime shifts

Online calibration and gating keep forecasts stable when weather, fuel, or behavior changes—no brittle full retrains.

Topology-aware, not map-naive

Features respect congestion corridors and nodal influence, not just distance. Scenario stress reveals where bids break.

Decisions with confidence

We ship intervals, variance, and rate-of-change views so teams see the distribution—not just a point estimate.
