Grid system planners, operators, and utilities rely on 3TIER for the best renewable energy resource information to guide development planning and inform operational decision-making.

3TIER has developed the most advanced and accurate datasets of the spatial and temporal variability of the world’s wind and solar resources, and we have provided the resource information upon which several of the largest renewable energy integration studies ever undertaken were based. This unparalleled knowledge and expertise enables us to play an invaluable role in the design and optimization of a diversified, balanced renewable power production portfolio and an appropriate transmission infrastructure—at any scale.

Once operational, 3TIER helps you reduce renewable energy integration costs through accurate power forecasting. We are one of the world’s largest and most successful independent forecasters of wind power production. We forecast more than 20,000 MW of installed wind generation capacity worldwide, including over 10,000 MW of project-specific production. 3TIER forecasts for the majority of the merchant, non-PPA wind projects in the US, which are most dependent on accurate forecasts. Our forecasting skill has enabled us to achieve a 98% client retention rate.

For projects that fall outside the scope of our core products, you can also get flexible access to 3TIER’s renewable energy expertise, data resources, and computational horsepower through our Advanced Applications group.
