Abstract: Global electricity demand is projected to increase by 85% in 2040 as living standards rise, economies expand and the need for electrification of society continues. Electricity demand forecasting plays an important role in load allocation and planning for future generation facilities and transmission augmentation. In this paper among the different methods of load forecasting econometric method of load forecasting is implemented. For the work to be real and successful different historical load data were collected from the utility by customer categorical level such as Domestic, commercial and industrial customers, and also historical load driving factors like the number of population and the gross domestic products (GDP) were collected from the central statistical agency and from the Ethiopian Power System Expansion Master Plan Study Respectively. The total GTP of the adigrat town is derived from the total GTP of the country as the whole.Logarithmic (log-log) Regression model was used and Analytical results such as R2 (coefficient of determination), Coefficient of elasticity, P-Values and the residual standard error were observed to determine the validity of any historical relationship.The Main objective of this study is to assess the future energy demand of customers and to ensure onward sustainable energy utilization.
