The Global Energy Forecasting Competition (GEFCom) is a competition conducted by a team led by Dr. Tao Hong that invites submissions around the world for forecasting energy demand.
GEFCom2017 brought together state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies for hierarchical probabilistic energy forecasting.
The winners were announced by the IEEE Power & Energy Society (one of the sponsors of the competition) on September 30, 2013.
