About

The team behind Wattica

Engineers who have worked in energy analytics, machine learning and data engineering in the UK and in Turkey.

Our story

Started in 2023 as an R&D project

Wattica grew out of an R&D project started in 2023 to look at problems in the Turkish electricity market that could be solved with data. In the early years we worked on renewable generation forecasting and market data. Conversations with suppliers pointed us to one of their largest cost items: imbalance.

That work became a forecasting platform that models each meter separately using OSOS and EPİAŞ data. Today the platform runs live on customer portfolios and handles the full cycle automatically, from the day-ahead forecast to hourly revisions in the intraday market.
