Trends in Estimated Load Impacts of COVID-19 Mitigation Policies
As shelter-in-place policies are enacted to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Itron's forecasting team will leverage publicly available hourly load data for most North American Independent System Operators (ISOs) to build a picture of the load impacts by region. To assess the load impact of COVID-19 mitigation strategies, Itron will present a comparison of actual loads since March 22, 2020 (when many of these policies began) to baseline loads without COVID-19 policy impacts. Update memos will include more data as aggregate load impacts during this critical time are tracked.
Southwest Power Pool (SPP) and a select number of European countries are also now included.
Itron will publish these update memos on the latest trends on a regular basis. To be notified when updates are available, subscribe to the Energy Forecasting blog.
