Annual Energy Forecasting Survey 2021
April 27, 2021
Itron’s forecasting group is in the process of conducting their Annual Energy Survey. The survey will close on June 1, 2021. As we have done in previous years, we collect information to assess industry growth expectations and forecast accuracy for electricity and natural gas. We continue to focus on forecasts of customer and sales growth, weather normalized growth and forecast accuracy. All survey participants will receive a summary report. Final results will also be presented during our brown bag seminar on September 21. Register at www.itron.com/forecastingworkshops.
If you have not participated before, you can view the 2019 report. Utility specific data is NOT disclosed. Surveys like this benefit the entire energy community by supplying valuable knowledge. We encourage you to participate and be included in this important survey this year. Contact Paige Schaefer at paige.schaefer@itron.com to receive a link to participate.
