2005 Regional demand forecast
Grid planning requires forecasts at a regional level in order to assess transmission requirements for servicing potential demand across geographical locations in New Zealand.
A paper outlining possible approaches to regional forecasting was prepared by J Lermit in October 2004.
The Commission carried out a review of alternative regional forecasting methodologies in April 2005. While a draft approach to regional forecasting was developed by the Commission, the different methodologies tested produced very different regional level forecasts.
Further development work by the Commission focused on obtaining additional information about the historical balance of residential and industrial/commercial loads within each region.
