Resource Adequacy and Load Forecasting Webinar Series

Many U.S. jurisdictions are dealing with the impacts of unprecedented anticipated load growth at the same time the generation resource mix is in a major state of flux. As a result, electricity grid planning activities are becoming substantially more complex and their outcomes that much more impactful. State agency professionals responsible for ensuring effective electricity grid planning which serves the public interest at least cost need to be empowered with essential skills that enable comprehensive reviews of forecasting and resource adequacy activities.

To meet this need, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are offering a webinar series to help regulatory agency and state energy office staff, among others, gain a solid understanding of key concepts, learn to apply practical forecasting methods to predict future demands, and master techniques for assessing and ensuring adequate resources.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy provided the financial support for this webinar series.
