Enerdata has been contracted by IRENA through a public procurement process to enhance its analytical framework in the field of energy efficiency and the synergies with renewable energy. More specifically, Enerdata will upgrade IRENA’s REmap tool to explicitly model energy efficiency measures and their likely interactions with national energy systems. The upgraded model will allow for assessing, at country and regional levels, the potential role of energy efficiency in all sectors of the economy, and the impact of energy balance forecasts.
In addition, Enerdata will deliver country analysis using the upgraded model on a set of four individual countries. For those countries, scenarios will be prepared to illustrate how the model can support scenario analysis and decision-aid combining energy efficiency and renewable options.
IRENA will then benefit from a specific training on energy efficiency indicators and analysis, as well as on the command of the upgraded REmap tool.
