Our final brown bag seminar of the year—hosted on Tuesday, Dec. 4—is entitled “Short-term Load Forecasting: A Practitioner’s Handbook.”

Data analysis and cleaning.

Along the way, we will introduce a handbook that Itron has written describing the practical steps involved in developing day-ahead load forecasting models.
