Load Forecasting Enhancement Act

This bill requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to set up regional boards that study and recommend the best ways for electric companies to predict how much electricity people will need at any given time. States would be required to consider adopting these recommendations, and FERC would also make suggestions to Congress about how to use these best practices consistently across all states. The bill also ties certain federal funding for state energy conservation plans to whether those plans include steps to make electricity demand predictions more accurate and transparent to the public.
