Power demand projections are crucial for substation expansion, grid stability, and resource allocation. Conventional forecasting approaches cannot provide high-precision estimates and real-time adaptability to shifting energy consumption patterns caused by quick urbanization, technology advances, and climate changes. This paper introduces Dynamic Network-Enabled Intelligent Forecasting Analysis (DNIFA), an AI-driven framework that enhances power demand forecasts using network analysis and advanced machine learning. The adaptable and flexible forecasting model DNIFA creates makes it unique. To enhance forecasts, this model may use real-time inputs, previous consumption trends, and external variables like weather, socioeconomic factors, and grid disturbances. DNIFA's forecasting methods are updated in real time to reflect energy demand, grid performance, and external factors to improve accuracy and robustness. This contrasts with static models that exclusively use past data patterns. To assess its efficiency, DNIFA was extensively tested using simulated models and real-world energy usage statistics. The model optimizes electricity distribution, reduces forecasting errors, and improves energy infrastructure construction decisions regularly. DNIFA's scalability and integration make it perfect for smart grid management, real-time load balancing, and energy sustainability initiatives. DNIFA's ground-breaking intelligent electrical demand forecasting fills the gap between historical predictions and current grid demands, making power distribution networks more efficient, reliable, and future-proof. Experimental results show that the DNIFA is considered as a powerful tool for electricity demand forecasting during substation expansion initiatives to improve the reliability and efficiency of power distribution networks. This research reveals that DNIFA can expand substations and enable the energy industry innovate with data-driven, adaptable, and resilient power management systems.
