LTES

Long-term Energy Scenarios Campaign

The LTES Network is a global platform to exchange knowledge and good practices in the use and development of model-based LTES.

About

The Long-Term Scenarios for the Energy Transition (LTES) initiative aims to promote the wider adoption and improved use of long-term model-based energy scenarios to support and accelerate the energy transition among CEM countries.

The LTES initiative focus is aligned to that of IRENA’s LTES Network. Since its inception in May 2018, several activities have been organized to promote an exchange of insights and compile best practices among members and partners. These include:

  • Workshops & Events
  • Webinar Series:
    • ONGOING: 2nd LTES Members and Partners Webinar Series
    • LTES Members and Partners Webinar Series
    • Long-Term Energy Scenarios (LTES) for Developing National Clean Energy Transition Plans in Latin America
  • Publications:
    • Benchmarking Scenario Comparison: Key indicators for the clean energy transition (September 2021)
    • Scenarios for the Energy Transition: Global experience and best practices (September 2020)
    • Long-term energy scenarios: First-year campaign findings (May 2019)

The initiative is co-led by the Danish and German governments and supported by additional country members and technical partners, while IRENA executes the initiative as the operating agent.
