Energy load forecasting

Forecast demand by interval, feeder, zone, and customer class with weather-driven uncertainty.

Sound familiar?

  • Peaks that arrive sharper than the day-ahead plan expected
  • Weather updates changing load faster than schedules can follow
  • Reserve bought at premium prices when the evening ramp surprises you

What you can predict

One forecast can answer several operational questions.

Connect meter history with weather, calendar, distributed generation, tariffs, and industrial activity to maintain operational and planning forecasts.

System and zonal load

02

Peak demand timing

03

Net load ramps

04

Weather-normalized demand

Questions teams need answered

  • When will the system peak?
  • Which zone carries the most uncertainty?
  • How steep will the evening ramp be?
  • What changed after the weather update?

Data that can improve the forecast

TemperatureHumidityCalendarDistributed solarTariffsIndustrial activity

Start with the history you already have. Add internal or external drivers only when backtesting shows that they improve the forecast on held-out periods.

What-if planning

Test a change before committing to it.

Compare a proposed change with the current baseline. See the expected direction, timing, range, and the assumptions behind the result.
