Bottom-up methods and low-down results: Changes in the estimation of future energy demands

Abstract

While the estimation of future levels of energy demand is an important policy planning tool, conventional energy forecasting techniques used for this purpose have been increasingly criticised in terms of both methodology and accuracy. The result of these criticisms has been the development of new forecasting techniques and of alternative techniques. Recent changes in the methods of demand estimation are discussed. These are followed by an examination of a number of recent energy demand estimates for Ontario. It is apparent that significant changes in both the process and the substance of energy demand estimation are occurring.
