Forecast and evaluate the potential of renewable energy production based on real-time and historical environmental data. The Destination Renewable Energy (DRE) Service is a digital solution that:
• Provides solar and wind resource assessments using historical CAMS data ERA5 reanalysis data for and meteorological parameters such as radiation and wind speed
• Delivers 2-day forecasts for Global Horizontal Irradiance, solar and wind power output based on Digital Twin data
• Integrates user-specific data for tailored simulations of energy systems
DRE enables dynamic visualization of results, including time-series plots and graphs, while ensuring data availability and protection through advanced identity and access management.
The Destination Renewable Energy (DRE) Service forecasts and assesses solar and wind energy potential using real-time and historical data, offering tailored simulations, 2-day forecasts, and interactive visualizations through a secure digital platform.

This tutorial introduces DRE — this video offers a complete tutorial and clear guidelines for using the Destination Renewable Energy (DRE) service on the DestinE platform.
You’ll find step-by-step instructions and practical test case examples that show how solar developers, wind energy planners, and energy traders can use DRE to:
- Assess solar and wind energy potential
- Forecast power production and grid integration
- Plan and make informed, data-driven decisions
What’s included:
- How to log in and navigate the DRE demo
- How to enter site data, run assessments, and generate forecasts
- How to interpret results and apply them to real projects
- Example scenarios designed for educational purposes
DRE brings together Earth observation data, climate services, and digital twin technology to support the clean energy transition, the Green Deal, and a sustainable future.
Instructions covered in this tutorial are meant for the entire community, supporting both new and advanced users of the service.
