I'm putting some of my earlier comments about SCE below, as they are still valid:
SCE's forecasting team has groups doing long term demand forecasting, short term demand forecasting and price forecasting, which I consider as a best practice from the organizational perspective.
This is a super-talented forecasting team. You will enjoy working in this team no matter you are an entry level analyst or an expert forecaster. You can find out more about what they do and how they do things through this webinar recording at Energy Central (registration is free).
