[IMAGE]   RER offers end-use data and  forecasting support services through its Energy Forecasting Group (EFG).  RER has been the expert on end-use forecasting since its conception. RER  can help you find data to support your end-use forecasting needs and tell  you how to incorporate demand-side planning (DSM) into your long-term  forecast.  EFG members provide the direction of the group, which  continues to evolve over time. Currently, the EFG provides support  services and the Regional Statistically Adjusted End-use (SAE) Approach  which embodies end-use concepts and trends into a monthly econometric  forecasting framework. Members receive regional versions of the SAE  Approach and the associated regional databases. The residential SAE models  are complete and commercial models will be distributed in 2002.  In  addition, RER coordinates an annual user meeting that includes relevant  topic discussions, a keynote speaker from the EIA, and presentations by  other energy forecasting professionals. The 2002 meeting is scheduled for  March 28-29 at Treasure Island in Las  Vegas, Nevada. An optional golf day will be held on Wednesday,  March 27.
