A single‐equation model is developed and employed for forecasting industrial electric energy consumption in the Saudi Consolidated Electric Company in the Eastern Province (SCECO‐East) of Saudi Arabia. SCECO‐East's industrial loads are composed mainly of oil‐related and petrochemical industries. Even though industrial loads are generally characterized by their steadiness, the harsh weather conditions of the Eastern Province cause great variations in the industrial electric energy consumption at SCECO‐East. The developed model reflects these variations. MATLAB is used to solve the model. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
