Speakers:

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff convened a multi-stakeholder panel on load forecasting to examine methods, data needs, and how large new loads (notably data centers) should be represented in operational and long-range planning. Panelists from MISO, PJM consumer advocates, NERC, industry consultants and Amazon discussed confidence levels, transparency, and options for standardizing inputs.
