From Weather Extremes to Trading Signals: 

Decoding Texas’ 2021 Power Crisis

WHEN: Thurs, Sept 18 · 12–1pm ET
TIMEZONE: New York, Eastern
HOST: Joe Hamman, Earthmover CTO

When Winter Storm Uri hit Texas in February 2021, freezing temperatures, still wind, and cloud cover converged into one of the most severe power crises in U.S. history. For energy markets, it was a stark reminder that weather can move billions. As traders, meteorologists, and risk analysts, you know that forecasting these correlated events in real time is critical to protecting positions and capturing opportunities.

In this webinar, we’ll turn historical lessons into trade-ready intelligence:

  • We’ll reconstruct the Uri crisis with open weather data and open-source tools
  • Use ERA5 reanalysis with xarray, zarr, and icechunk to extract the signals that stressed ERCOT – from temperature anomalies to suppressed renewables production
  • We’ll connect those signals to the patterns trading teams can systematically monitor today
  • And show how Earthmover extends this workflow into an operational datalake, combining scientific rigor with delivery at trading speed

Join us to see how past extremes reveal today’s trading signals — and how your team can operationalize modern data infrastructure to sustain an edge in volatile markets.
