Over the past decades, energy forecasting has attracted many researchers. The electrification of the modern world influences the necessity of electricity load, wind energy, and solar energy forecasting in power sectors. Energy demand increases with the increase in population. The energy has inherent characteristics like volatility and uncertainty. So, the design of accurate energy forecasting is a critical task. The electricity load, wind, and solar energy are important for maintaining the energy supply-demand equilibrium non-conventionally. Energy demand can be handled effectively using accurate load, wind, and solar energy forecasting. It helps to maintain a sustainable environment by meeting the energy requirements accurately. The limitation in the availability of sufficient data becomes a hindrance to achieving accurate energy forecasting. The transfer learning strategy supports overcoming the hindrance by transferring the knowledge from the models of similar domains where sufficient data is available for training. The present study focuses on the importance of energy forecasting, discusses the basics of transfer learning, and describes the significance of transfer learning in load forecasting, wind energy forecasting, and solar energy forecasting. It also explores the reviews of work done by various researchers in electricity load forecasting, wind energy forecasting, and solar energy forecasting. It explores how the researchers utilized the transfer learning concepts and overcame the limitations of designing accurate electricity load, wind energy, and solar energy forecasting models.
