Energy demand forecasting is complex due to the continually changing environment with: price increases and smart metering, climate change, restrictions and regulation, population increase, product efficiency, new products and technologies, renewable energy, and changing consumer attitudes towards energy and carbon reduction. This complexity makes energy forecasting challenging without the right tools.
