Learning & Capacity Building
📘 Open University Course on Energy Demand Projections with MAED (Model for Analysis of Energy Demand)
This course provides an introduction to the MAED methodology and hands on experience using the user interface, calibrating a model, and running scenarios.
MAED II User Interface
Download the dedicated user interface for MAED here. It provides a single space to input data, run the model, and visualize results.
🌍 Energy Modelling Platforms (EMPs)
By offering training to professionals from the Global South, the Energy Modelling Platforms (EMPs) enable these countries to gather critical data, perform independent analyses, and develop credible investment proposals for clean energy infrastructure projects. EMPs play a vital role in what we refer to as local capacity building.
