IRENA / IEA-ETSAP Session: REMAP 2030
On 17 June, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) organised a session on its global renewable energy roadmap – REMAP 2030 – during the 63rd semi-annual Energy Technology Systems Analysis meeting of the International Energy Agency (IEA-ETSAP). The aim of the session was to introduce the REMAP 2030 project to IEA-ETSAP, collect and compare the modelling results from REMAP 2030 with the global, regional and national modelling results from ETSAP modellers, and explore opportunities for further collaboration.
The session was opened by Dolf Gielen, Director of IRENA Innovation and Technology Centre. Following his presentation, 10 ETSAP modellers presented the results of four global models, one regional model and seven national models. Many of the modellers presented their results so that they were comparable to the national cost-supply curves created through REMAP 2030. At the end of the session, there was an open discussion between IRENA, IEA-ETSAP representatives, and the 50 modellers on how the modelling results can complement REMAP 2030 analysis to account for grid integration costs, longer-term systems planning issues, competition for scarce resources and capital stock turnover.
A summary report of the session can be found here.
