Energy Cost Forecasting
Energy cost forecasting is the practice of projecting future energy spend based on expected consumption, tariff rates, and market price trends.
Definition
Energy cost forecasting combines projected consumption (from historical patterns and known future changes) with current or anticipated tariff rates to estimate future energy spend, supporting budgeting and procurement decisions.
Why It Matters
Accurate cost forecasting helps organisations budget realistically and time procurement decisions, particularly in volatile energy markets.
