Forecasting
Leveraging a Waterfall Approach to Explain the Load Forecast
February 08, 2019
Our first brown bag seminar of the year is entitled “Leveraging a Waterfall Approach to Explain the Load Forecast”. This session introduces a methodology to develop the story which underlies the load forecast in a proactive manner. By isolating core driving factors and generating sequential forecasts, the forecaster can approximate the relative impact of each driver on the load forecast, thereby facilitating an insightful presentation of the results.
Be sure to join us on Tuesday, Feb. 19 as we explore this topic. To register for this Brown Bag and other forecasting events, go to http://www.itron.com/forecastingworkshops.
