This symposium was organized to provide electric-utility forecasters an opportunity to learn from colleagues the current state of the forecaster's art. The emphasis of this symposium was on practice and application. Each person invited to give a paper was directly employed by an electric utility or was a consultant designated by a utility to represent that utility's forecasting methodology. Thus, all the papers presented discussed forecasting approaches currently in use by electric utilities. The symposium sought to include a wide range of forecasting philosophies. Of the 20 presentations made in six sessions, 17 papers were submitted for publication in the proceedings. Topics for the six sessions were: Forecasting Residential Kilowatthour Consumption, Forecasting Peak Demand and Load Shape, Forecasting Commercial Kilowatthour Consumption, Forecasting Problems of Small Utilities, Forecasting Industrial Kilowatthour Consumption, and Integrated Approaches to Forecasting. To introduce this volume, the symposium's coordinator discusses the background of electric utility forecasting. A separate abstract was prepared for the introductory paper and for each of the 17 presentations.
