Distribution and resource planners need to see the future feeder by feeder — not just system wide.
Load growth is no longer uniform. EV adoption, distributed solar, data centers, and building electrification are concentrating demand on specific feeders while leaving others flat. LoadSEER gives IRP and distribution planning teams the locational, time-specific forecasts needed to plan infrastructure investments, evaluate non-wires alternatives, and produce IDP filings that hold up to regulatory scrutiny.
Get in touchThe questions IA analytics helps you answer
Where will load growth hit hardest?
System-level forecasts average growth across the service territory — hiding the feeder-level concentration that drives actual infrastructure need. Planners need to know which circuits will hit capacity and when.
How do we justify NWA investments?
Regulators increasingly expect quantified comparisons between wires solutions and non-wires alternatives. That requires locational avoided cost analysis, not system averages.
How do we handle IDP filing requirements?
IDP proceedings in California, New York, Hawaii, and Illinois require multi-scenario, auditable load forecasts with documented methodology. Generic tools don't produce what commissions accept.
How do we plan across a 20-year horizon?
Distribution capital decisions have 20-30 year lifespans. Planning under uncertainty requires scenario-based analysis, not single-point forecasts.
