Tashkent, Uzbekistan – On 1-2 July 2025, the Regional Group on Modelling convened in Tashkent for the Regional Workshop on Elements of Country Energy Planning. During the event, country teams presented priority elements that can be explored through energy-climate scenario analysis. Representatives of the State Partners, participating online, contributed comments, additional information, and insights.

Rocco De Miglio, Workstream Lead on Energy Modelling, presented the draft workplan of SECCA’s regional energy modelling initiative, which recently entered its Phase II. Phase II takes a more targeted, country-specific and application-oriented approach, while continuing to strengthen capacities of the Central Asian countries to develop national energy sector models, enhance local systems thinking and promote knowledge- and data-driven decision making in the energy and climate sectors.

The workshop also included a review and discussion of best practices in scenario development related to the identified priority elements.

A follow-up workshop is tentatively scheduled for November 2025 to present interim results of the scenario analysis and gather feedback and recommendations. A regional conference planned for early 2026 will present the final results of the analysis.
