Mid-Term Load Forecast
The Mid-Term Load forecast (MTLF) is an hourly forecast for the next 168 hours based on current weather forecast parameters within each Weather Zone. The MTLF Monthly Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) chart below contains average MAPE values for the 3 hour ahead, 6 hour ahead, and day ahead forecast horizons for each calendar month. The MTLF Monthly Backcast chart contains the average model error for each calendar month. Note that a backcast is created by using the current MTLF forecast models with actual weather data and calendar variables (day-of-week, holiday) as input. The backcasted values are then compared to the actual load values to arrive at model error.
