Where load grows matters as much as how much load grows.
Traditional load forecasting tells you how much electricity demand is coming. Geospatial load forecasting tells you where — mapping projected demand growth to specific circuits, feeders, and substations so infrastructure investment goes where it is actually needed.
The problem with top-down forecasting
NREL research documented the core issue: “Peanut-butter spread forecasts greatly reduce a planner’s ability to anticipate relative grid needs.” LoadSEER incorporates a licensed national building stock dataset covering every building in the U.S. — providing physical and modeled energy characteristics at the parcel level. This is the data foundation that makes parcel-level forecasting genuinely bottom-up.

What LoadSEER delivers
National building stock dataset
Licensed dataset covering every U.S. building with physical and modeled energy characteristics — the primary differentiator separating genuine bottom-up spatial forecasting from top-down disaggregation.
About LoadSEER →Circuit-level forecast resolution
Forecasts at individual circuit and substation level — planners see which specific feeders will be stressed and when.
Circuit-level forecasting →Up to 100 economic drivers per circuit
Automatically evaluates and selects the best-fit economic drivers for each circuit’s load growth.
LoadSEER methodology →H3 geospatial grid visualization
Load forecasts displayed as hexagonal H3 grid overlays on satellite imagery.
