Choose the right perspective
Match the person's forecasting horizon and use to yours, since hourly circuit-level forecasts for grid planning differ from long-term energy and sales forecasts used in rate cases and resource plans. Also decide whether you need someone who builds the models hands-on or someone who has led a forecasting group.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you account for electric vehicles, rooftop solar and other emerging loads in a long-term forecast?
- 02How do you explain forecast misses to planners, regulators and executives?
- 03Which weather, economic and customer data matter most in your forecasting models, and why?
