    Hi Zulfiqar,

    Thanks for your question, and thanks for using LEAP! To learn how to use LEAP, we highly recommend all new users review the training materials to become familiarized with the software, such as how to create demand branches and forecast energy demands. The training materials can be found here:

    Note that you can view completed versions of each training exercise by opening the Freedonia dataset that comes with the LEAP software. To do this, ensure you save your own model first, then go to Area --> Open --> Freedonia. Then select Area --> Revert to Version to compare your progress at each stage to the finished product.

    If you have any questions, do a quick search on the website to see if it has already been answered. If not, feel free to post a new discussion on the forum, and we would be happy to help!

    Thanks,

    Emily

    Hi Zulfiqar,
    In my understanding, first you need to understand the relationship amongst your data, for then be able to project the demand. Have you tried any econometric models?
