Summary

The concept of electricity demand forecasting covers in fact a number of diverse activities, corresponding to different purposes. Forecasts may concern either the short-term, for budget or actual management purposes, or the long-term, to support investment planning. They can be done at national, regional or local levels, being then particularly useful for planning of generation capacities, of the transmission and interconnection network and of distribution networks.
