Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of Weave, a data solution designed to help data scientists in the energy sector access data with just a few lines of code. Developed through a partnership between the Centre for AI and Climate and CEIMIA, Weave simplifies the notoriously complex process of gathering energy data, reducing the timeline from months to minutes.
Weave aggregates and publishes energy data in the geoparquet file format, making it easily accessible to data scientists. This innovation enables more detailed, higher-resolution demand forecasts and the analysis of energy data, helping to unlock new insights in energy consumption and management.
The long term vision is to consolidate a wide range of datasets that will improve the accuracy of energy forecasting models. As of today, Weave focuses on smart meter data that has recently been published by the UK DNOs (Distribution Network Operators). By making this data more accessible, Weave will help data scientists make smarter, quicker decisions that will shape the future of energy use.
Key features of Weave include:
Cloud native file storage: Geoparquet files enable access to datasets that would otherwise take days to download and process.
High resolution energy consumption data: Unlocks access to previously elusive high resolution smart meter data.
Open and free: No credit card, account creation or email address needed. Start using the data immediately.
Weave is now live and free to use. To learn more or try out Weave for yourself, visit https://weave.energy
This launch marks an important milestone in our mission to democratise energy data access, and we invite data scientists to join us in exploring the endless possibilities of Weave.
