Energy Industry
Within the Energy sector, determining the correct forecasting methodology, a top-down (aggregate), or bottom-up (location-specific) approach, there are several important factors to consider. For example, seasonal demands, availability of substitutes and key economic factors all play a role in determining the best forecasting approach to take.
