Tired of waiting for updated reference data? ERA5(T) is now freely available in windPRO to fast-track your decisions!

ERA5(T) in windPRO is a globally comprehensive reference wind dataset with minimal lag in time. Traditional reference datasets, such as ERA5, MERRA2 or ERA-Interim, are available with a lag to real-time of one to three months, which typically results in compromising the data quality and delaying decision making up to months.

With the release of “ERA5(T) – Rectangular Grid” in windPRO the problem is virtually eliminated, allowing the latest months of our recently obtained wind, solar or production data to be easily matched by trusted, high-quality long-term reference data. The dataset is a seamless merge of ERA5 and the preliminary ERA5(T) data and it is offered on a 0.25° rectangular grid, with 30 years of data available via windPRO’s online data service.
