Throughout the implementation of SECCA, the capacities of the Central Asian countries to develop national energy sector models have been assessed and capacity-building plans have been developed.
The first two steps towards the implementation of these plans include:
- the set-up of a regional group on modelling (consisting of two young professionals from each Beneficiary Country) to initiate country “modelling units” and create a long-term virtuous bridge between the Project activities and local decision makers and improve local systems thinking and knowledge (data) based decision making in the energy and climate sectors; and
- the delivery of three Regional trainings, which aim to transfer the basic concepts, and the theoretical and practical approaches, related to analysing and modelling complex energy systems at the national and regional level.
The present training is the first of the planned three Regional trainings. It covers the “fundamentals” of energy and climate strategic planning and modelling analyses and aims to provide a common understanding of the energy and climate issues and of some good practices.
