3TIER's seasonal hydro forecast provides early warning of high streamflow or extreme dry-season conditions up to 12 months in advance. This enables you to optimize and diversify your portfolio of assets, structure long-term hedges for energy and capacity transactions, and mitigate the risks of long-term financial decisions.

Financial analysts – Prepare utility revenue forecasts.
Power marketers – Determine power surplus or deficit and secure long-term power sales and purchases.
Operators – Make decisions about reservoir refill timing, off stream water allocation, and the use of alternate energy sources.

3TIER's hydrological flow models are based on state-of-the-art techniques developed at Princeton University and the University of Washington.
