Announces New Client Promotion
Tokyo, Japan April 5, 2023. TESLA Asia Pacific is delighted to announce its new office in Tokyo as well as a partnership with Skipping Stone. TESLA specializes in delivering power and gas demand forecasting and has been providing accurate forecasts to over 200 utility companies in Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and the Americas for over three decades.
TESLA has been providing Japanese retailers, power traders and transmission system operators with reliable power demand forecasts since 2017. Clients utilize the TESLA solutions to help with supply and demand balancing, reduce retail imbalance charges and form a view on the market.
The weather-sensitive TESLA model is updated each hour as new weather and demand data become available. The 14-day forecast horizon with medium- to long-term percentile extension covers physical and financial power trading requirements. Among other things, the TESLA model considers weather, holidays/festivals, seasonality and trends such as policy-induced demand destruction.
“Our Japanese offering and client base has grown tremendously since we first entered the Japan market in 2017 after our high score in TEPCO’s Load Forecasting Technology Contest. We are excited to take it to the next level with a new office in Tokyo and dedicated staff to continue providing our clients with the gold standard TESLA service,” said Tony Baker, Managing Director of TESLA Asia Pacific.
Tetsuya Totsuka, Japan Business Development Manager of TESLA Asia Pacific added, “It’s great to see the TESLA Japan service evolve from a single forecast for Tokyo based off a single weather station to coverage across all nine regions with 50 weather stations from multiple weather vendors. Additionally, Solar and Wind generation forecasts were included for all subscribers in March 2023.”
“We are excited to partner with TESLA to provide business development support and more importantly work with TESLA and their Japanese clients to develop and implement new customized solutions,” said Hiroshi Okuyama, President of Skipping Stone, GK.
