LONG DESCRIPTION: At the request of stakeholders, ERCOT has developed a Long-Term Load Forecast for the COVID-19 Scenario page on the ERCOT website. The forecast is based on data provided by Moody’s Analytics in the April economic forecast. The web page contains Demand and energy data using adjusted peak Load forecasts that correlate with Moody’s economic forecast. Stakeholders can use this information to perform their own analyses.
