Hey Guys,

I have a data set that contains the daily load for year 2019 for one substation, almost of 366 cells in CSV file.
I need to forecast its load for year 2020. What is the best model to be used in this case? time series?
If so, can I have simple code to predict the results, I'm sure it is simple for experts but I'm just newbie to the Machine Learning World.
Also, I got one more question, is it better to forecast the load using Python or using normal Excel Sheet formula for forecasting?

Thanks

Take your data and plot it. What does it look like? If straight line, do linear regression. If curve, consider polynomial regression. If neither, perhaps a neural network. Start with a plot.
