In this work several approaches to prediction of nat-ural gas consumption with neural and fuzzy neural sys-tems are analyzed and tested. The data covers daily nat-ural gas load in a certain region of Poland. Prediction strategies tested in the paper include: single neural net module approach, combination of three neural modules, temperature clusterization based method, and applica-tion of fuzzy neural networks. The results indicate the superiority of temperature clusterization based method over modular and fuzzy neural approaches. One of the interesting issues observed in the paper is relatively good performance of tested methods in the case of a long-term (four week) prediction compared to mid-term (one week) prediction. Generally, the results are significantly bet-ter than those obtained by statistical methods currently used for this task in the gas company under considera-tion.
