Our suite of Natural Gas Forecasting tools- MCast™ GasDay, MCast™ GasHour, GasMonth, and GasYear have become the industry standard for predicting natural gas demand, forecasting over 28% of the Nation’s natural gas usage.
Our MCast™ Power Software starts with a tried, tested, and proven mathematical foundation. Our data scientists pair that with a dynamic and wide range of advanced and constantly improving mathematical models. The evolving nature of this system ensures that our accuracy and reliability lead the pack when it comes to forecasting the constantly changing nature of electric power demand.
Our Design Day Studies and Long-Range Studies are most often used to assist utilities in appraising their infrastructure based on forecasted periods of peak demand. Our studies and delivered reports have been used in regulatory tribunals, by both supply and control groups. We also construct custom studies to help predict business success.
Our industry continues to become more complex in its requirements and demands more data to support long term business decisions. Marquette Energy Analytics is uniquely positioned to partner with utilities in tackling these new obstacles. We retain a staff of experienced industry leading experts that can weigh in on events, forecasts, regulatory tribunals, or any individual request dealing with forecasting demand.
Additional to consulting, we now offer forecasting by premise, or leveled forecasting, to further help utilities navigate this constantly changing landscape.
Our flagship SaaS product, MCast GasDay, forecasts RCI gas demand for more than 25% of the United States. How does it compare to your current forecasting? We challenge you to run our software against your current forecasting solution, at no charge.
