In full knowledge of the energy-saving and emission reduction (ESAER) policies in China, it is analyzed in this paper what the promising new futures in electricity demand in East China in the context of ESAER. To propose the well applicable load forecasting methods for East China power grid, where the ESAER policies have being intensively implemented since 2005, the reality of economic development and industrialization in East China are also discussed. Therefore the well-used long-term forecasting methods are analyzed detailed for their respective applicability under the background of ESAER. Furthermore, in order to take the influence of ESAER policies into account in the forecasting models, the "improved Solow forecasting method" is proposed in this paper. Then these methods are used to forecast the electricity demand from the year 2009 to the year 2015 for East China power grid to check their feasibility. Finally, the forecasting results of electricity demand in East China are analyzed and compared.
