Maon’s vision
Our mission is to ensure optimal decision-making in energy markets by creating foresight.
High-stakes need reliable forecasts
Energy markets are fast-moving, complex, and capital-intensive, shaped by climate change, policy shifts, and technological innovation. In this environment, accurate forecasting and data-driven decision-making are critical to staying ahead of the curve.

Traditional market analysis often falls short in depth, speed, and consistency, leaving decision-makers grappling with uncertainty and risking costly missteps or missed opportunities. Maon addresses this challenge by combining breakthrough scientific methods with the most powerful simulation software available, enabling users to anticipate trends, mitigate risks, and uncover opportunities with unmatched precision.
Make optimal decisions
Grid operators gain the foresight to optimize power flows, prevent disruptions, and efficiently meet the needs of millions of consumers. Traders and investors can leverage holistic, consistent data to find profitable opportunities, making resilient decisions that maximize returns while minimizing risk.
Maon is not just a forecasting tool – it is a strategic asset that enables confident decision-making in uncertainty, keeping users ahead of the curve in an ever-evolving market.
Cooperate and win
Maon is a unified, web-based, no-code platform that supports non-linear, parallel workflows without installation. Tasks can be performed in any order and distributed across teams, enhancing cross-organizational collaboration. Users create simulations directly in their browser and explore results via interactive graphs and maps, supporting a wide range of use cases.

High application speed allows tasks such as sensitivity analyses to be set up and launched in under a minute. Model accuracy is reinforced through clear visual data summaries. The collaborative result analysis ensures high-quality outcomes across projects, processes, research, and development.
Rely on scientific laws
Maon models batteries, consumers, hydropower plants, interconnectors, renewable generators, and thermal power plants at quarter-hourly resolution across entire continents for up to a century. These models feed a wide range of simulations using proven scientific methods.

Users are in full control, can adjust any inputs and download all outputs. Simulations run automatically on high-performance computing clusters, delivering results efficiently and reliably. The built-in Data Check feature ensures seamless execution, flagging inconsistencies with clear descriptions and proposed solutions, minimizing manual processing.
Forecast realistically
Pre-parameterized datasets comprise historical years and typical future scenarios, covering thousands of demand and supply units. Figure 4 shows a European backtest for 2018, covering 25,000 units, compared to reality.

Generation volumes and spot prices closely match historical values, demonstrating continent-wide, annual, high-resolution schedules. Raw results are automatically processed into thousands of derived outputs, enabling social welfare analyses, power purchase agreement pricing, and cost-benefit assessments for individual portfolios.
See the bigger picture
A comprehensive foresight requires many perspectives: dispatch, investment, uncertainty, and markets. Maon bridges these views using a single, consistent set of models and methods, fully integrated and inherently coordinated.

Users can extend a deterministic dispatch scenario into an investment model, run stochastic simulations, or incorporate balancing markets with just one click while maintaining model cohesion and consistent results. Scenario mixing, parameterization, simulation, and result analysis can be done manually within a day or automatically via API in minutes, accelerating workflows and building confidence in decision-making.
Key takeaways
Decisions in energy markets revolve around a future shaped by climate change, policy shifts, and technological innovation. Resilient, high-fidelity forecasts are crucial for traders, investors, operators, and planners alike.
Maon enables large-scale, fundamental electricity market simulations, combining advanced engineering and information technologies to achieve a leading-edge closeness-to-reality. By calculating prices, dispatches, investments, and uncertainties, it helps pinpoint the most beneficial options.
The web-based platform supports non-linear, parallel workflows for superior cross-organizational collaboration. Users can start immediately with pre-parameterized, realistic datasets and analyze mission-critical results via interactive graphs and maps. Thousands of outputs provide transparency and understanding of the driving forces behind market dynamics.
In high-stakes energy markets, this delivers a decisive advantage: Maon predicts the future so you can act with confidence, making accurate decisions within minutes, knowing what to do and what not to do. Leading grid operators, business consultants, and public authorities rely on Maon to provide exceptional decision insights. We can do the same for you.
