Long-term energy planning support
Contact us
Send a messageThe energy planning support provides capacity-building for developing energy/electricity sector masterplans at both the national and transnational levels. Through training activities on energy modelling and the process of developing and updating national energy scenarios as direct inputs into national energy master plans, IRENA and its expert partners guide country teams with customised technical support, on-demand advisory services and draft output reviews..

IRENA Regional Model Analysis & Planning Support Programme: Eastern Africa: Training 2
This event is the second of six week-long regional training courses within the programme. The training focused on enhancing participants' expertise by introducing key concepts of the MESSAGE Reference Energy System (RES), the SPLAT-MESSAGE tools, and essential software installations, including the SPLAT interface, solver, and CMP model. Participants will also learn how to run a single-country model, enabling them to apply MESSAGE-SPLAT for national planning, review model results, and interpret key outputs effectively.
This workshop builds upon the MESSAGE E-learning course, which was held virtually from 17 to 24 March 2025, providing participants with a fundamental grasp of the MESSAGE modelling tool. By expanding on these concepts participants are expected to gain practical skills to run a single-country model, apply SPLAT-MESSAGE for national planning, analyse model results, and interpret outputs.
