Distribution Large Loads Forecasting

Explicit, not extrapolated

Large Loads Are Projects, Not Trends

A new industrial connection, a subdivision build-out, or a major commercial development changes a feeder in a step, not a slope. The platform models each as a discrete addition with its own attributes rather than as a share of regional growth.

Attributes

What Each Large Load Carries

• Connection point — the feeder, transformer, or substation it lands on
• Realization probability and energization date
• Staging and ramp-up across phases
• Hourly operating shape and weather coincidence

Local impact

Where the Load Lands

Because each project is tied to its connection point, its impact appears on the right asset at the right time. Combined with native load and electrification modifiers, planners see when a feeder or substation crosses its limit — and which project pushed it there.

Portfolio view

Many Projects, Many Futures

Large-load pipelines are uncertain as a set. The platform runs the portfolio across scenarios so planners can see which reinforcements are needed under every plausible combination of projects that materialize, and which depend on a single one.
