Abstract

Eskom is the major electricity supplier in South Africa and medium term forecasting within the company is a critical activity to ensure that enough electricity is generated to support the country's growth, that the networks can supply the electricity and that the revenue derived from electricity consumption is managed efficiently. This study investigates the most suitable forecasting technique for predicting monthly electricity consumption, one year ahead for four major municipalities within Kwa-Zulu Natal.
