Description :
This project goal is to develop a new Excel-based electricity demand forecasting tool for Kenya's National Electricity Demand Forecasting Committee. It provides accurate electricity needs estimation at a fine level of disaggregation (regional and county), in order to inform strategic and public policy decisions.
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description of the Actual Services Provided This project is divided into two sub-tasks:
(i) provide key players with an up-to-date forecasting tool incorporating new demand trends (electric cooking, electric mobility, captive generation and mini-grids);
(ii) produce demand and load forecasts calibrated in the short-, medium- and long-term, according to the required segmentation levels, for three scenarios: Reference, Vision and Low.
(iii) coordinate training and capacity building needs with the Danish Energy Agency (DEA) for key users of the upgraded tool.
• Final key deliverables:
o Diagnostic report of the existing tool and proposal of methodology
o New electricity demand forecasting tool
o Three scenarios for forecasting electricity demand and long-term load
o User and technical guide
