The development of end-use energy consumption and load shape data is important for end-use load forecasting and demand-side management (DSM) planning applications. This paper discusses the objectives, sample design data issues and applications of residential end-use load research and customer survey data at Missouri Public Service (MPS); a combination electric and natural gas utility division of UtiliCorp United Inc. Multiple objectives including rate design, market research, end-use load forecasting and DSM planning, determined that an integrated end-use load research sample design would be the most cost-effective approach. Comprehensive end-use customer survey data was collected and analyzed using XENERGY`s RECAP bill disaggregation program in conjunction with and end-use load research project in 1992 to calibrate EPRI`s REEPS forecasts. The resulting end-use load shapes and UEC`s provide consistent inputs to SRC`s COMPASS model and EPRI`s DSManager model for DSM Planning
