Develop and manage long-term forecasts out 40 years for Bonneville Power Administration and utility customers including Native American tribes, municipalities, public utility districts, cooperatives, and mines to ensure customers’ understanding of forecast implications regarding their energy contract. These demand forecasts are used to set Bonneville's rates, utility customer contractual obligations, resource and transmission planning for customers.Additionally, I worked on projects to align the load forecasting organization with Bonneville Power Administrations objectives.
