<p>Systems (100) and methods for forecasting electrical load are provided. A baseline load forecast for a future time period may be determined (210) by a forecasting system associated with a power utility (135). As desired, the forecasting system may include one or more computers. Information associated with at least one of (i) a scheduled demand for the future time period or (ii) a planned outage associated with the future time period may be determined (210) by the forecasting system. Based at least in part on the determined information, the forecasting system may modify (215) the baseline load forecast. Based at least in part on the modified baseline load forecast, the forecasting system may generate (220) a bid contract for the future time period.</p> |
