Demand Analysis Working Group Facilitation
Aspen facilitates and supports the work of the Demand Analysis Working Group (DAWG). Founded and funded by the California Energy Commission, the DAWG brings together demand forecasters from the Energy Commission and users of those forecasts at the California Independent System Operator, California Public Utilities Commission, the utilities and other stakeholders to clarify understanding of the demand forecast technical details and refine forecasting approaches. Aspen also coordinates the activities of a panel of independent academic experts who advise the Energy Commission’s chief demand forecaster.
