Grey method is a forecasting method which can be used to predict the short-term demand. The purpose of this study is to determine how well the Grey method used to predict the demand of alternative energy and compared with other forecasting methods. Mean Squared Error (MSE) is used as a measure of the goodness of the method. The result of the study indicates that the Grey Forecasting Methods MSE value that is smaller than other time series forecasting methods.
