Smarter forecasting for a changing market
A note from Adam Sroka, Hypercube CEO & Co-Founder:
This month, we joined forces with our partners at SAS to tackle one of the energy sector’s biggest challenges: forecasting in an era of volatility.
In our joint webinar, “The Future of Energy Forecasting: Navigating a Changing Market,” Duncan Bain from SAS and I explored how forecasting is evolving amid rapid electrification, decentralised generation, and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. The message was clear: the old models no longer cut it.
Today’s energy leaders need data-driven, adaptive forecasting powered by AI, cloud technology, and deep domain expertise. Together, we discussed how innovations like Energy Forecasting Cloud are helping organisations stay ahead of the curve, turning uncertainty into opportunity.
This partnership with SAS reflects a shared vision to give energy businesses the tools to forecast more accurately, respond faster, and plan with confidence. If you missed the webinar, you can watch it on demand to catch all the insights.

Insights from the Battery Asset Management Summit 2025
At this year’s Battery Asset Management Summit, Adam Sroka, led the keynote panel “Lessons Learned from the Veterans – The Yeses, the No’s & the Maybe’s.”
The discussion brought together leading voices from across the UK and Ireland to reflect on what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what’s next for battery energy storage systems. Panellists shared practical lessons from real-world projects, explored the latest operational and investment trends, and discussed how innovation is shaping the next generation of battery assets.
A big thank you to the organisers and panellists for a thoughtful and forward-looking conversation on how experience continues to guide progress in the battery storage sector.
Powering the future of EV charging
The Hypercube Energy Podcast is back with a new episode exploring how data and analytics are driving the future of EV charging in the UK.
Adam sits down with Jade Edwards, Head of Insights at Zapmap, about how real-world charging data is shaping infrastructure planning, utilisation, and investment strategies. They discuss the role of advanced analytics, GIS mapping, and AI-driven forecasting in helping operators, local authorities, and energy providers make smarter, more efficient decisions.
The conversation also looks ahead to the challenges and opportunities in scaling EV infrastructure - ensuring equitable access for all drivers and integrating charging networks with the wider energy grid.
Adapting to change: the new era of energy forecasting
In a special episode of the Hypercube Energy Podcast, Ivona Voroneckaja, Engineering Manager and data science expert at Hypercube, hosts a conversation with Duncan Bain, Senior Systems Engineer at SAS UK, on how energy forecasting is evolving in an era defined by renewables, data, and uncertainty.
They explore how the shift to decentralised energy systems and the rise of AI-driven modelling are transforming forecasting - moving beyond traditional statistical methods to advanced deep learning and hybrid models. The discussion highlights how data science is helping forecasters manage volatility, improve transparency, and strengthen confidence in every prediction.
Big Data LDN
At Big Data LDN 2025, Hypercube demonstrated how AI and MLOps are redefining data and energy systems to build a more intelligent and sustainable future.
Adam Sroka led two keynote discussions focused on the real-world application of AI in enterprise data and energy innovation. In conversation with Chad Sanderson of Gable.ai, he explored how AI-driven code analysis is transforming data lineage and governance. Later, with Steve Sinclair of Flexitricity, he showed how automated MLOps pipelines are driving smarter, more flexible energy systems.
Our latest blog breaks down the key highlights and insights from both sessions, showcasing how collaboration and applied AI are shaping the future of data and energy.
Smarter control for the next generation of battery assets
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are central to building a flexible, low-carbon grid. As portfolios grow, owners and operators face new challenges, including limited visibility, fragmented data, and increasingly complex market forecasting.
In this webinar, Adam Sroka explores how leading storage providers are overcoming these barriers through dedicated data platforms, AI, and scalable infrastructure. The session highlights how better data ownership, analytics, and automation enable operators to unlock revenue, improve performance, and manage risk across expanding portfolios.
Hypercube at the ESN Annual Conference 2025
We’re excited to announce that Hypercube will be exhibiting at the ESN Annual Conference 2025.
The event brings together leading voices from across the UK energy sector, including policymakers, regulators, and technology innovators, to shape the future of energy storage. Key themes this year include Clean Power 2030, long-duration storage, and grid reform, all central to accelerating the transition to a resilient, low-carbon energy system.
Join us to connect with the Hypercube team, explore our latest innovations, and discuss how data and AI can unlock smarter, more efficient energy storage solutions.
Building confidence in AI governance across the energy sector
Adam Sroka joins Energy Systems Catapult as a guest speaker for a webinar on governing large language models (LLMs) responsibly across the energy sector.
As AI becomes central to energy operations, organisations must balance innovation with compliance. With regulators such as Ofgem and the ICO raising expectations, the focus is shifting toward managing bias, data exposure, and accountability without slowing progress.
Adam will share insights from Hypercube’s CALLM framework, showing how effective governance can enable trusted, scalable AI adoption across the energy sector.
Hypercube turns three!
Hypercube just turned three! We celebrated the milestone with an Oktoberfest-themed birthday party, complete with steins, snacks, and plenty of laughter.
It was the perfect mix of laughter, good food, and great company, and a reminder of how much the team has achieved.
A huge danke schön to everyone who joined in and helped make it a day to remember. Here’s to another year of building, growing, and raising the bar - or in this case, the stein!
Hypercube at OTD Energy 2025
Hypercube was proud to take part in OTD Energy 2025 in Stavanger, highlighting how industrial AI is transforming the energy sector.
Phil Ross, commercial partnership lead, joined our partners at SAS to demonstrate how AI is driving progress in worker safety, energy forecasting, and payment integrity. The conversations underscored how data-led innovation is reshaping operations and unlocking new value across the industry.
It was an inspiring event that brought together experts, innovators, and industry leaders to collaborate on the future of industrial technology.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to connect and to OTD Energy for hosting a truly engaging and forward-looking exhibition.
Data-driven performance: unlocking efficiency in wind and solar
In this episode of the Hypercube Energy Podcast, Adam is joined by Philip Bradstock, Co-founder and Head of Analytics at Bitbloom, to explore how data and AI are redefining performance in renewable energy.
They discuss the real-world challenges of managing variable, data-rich environments in wind and solar, and how intelligent analytics can help asset owners improve output, reduce downtime, and optimise performance across large-scale portfolios.
Philip shares how Bitbloom blends automation with human insight to turn complex operational data into clear, actionable decisions and why getting more value from existing assets is essential to accelerating the energy transition.
