Senegal Masterplan Development Support Programme – Phase 1 closing meeting
In 2023, in partnership with IRENA and GIZ, the Senegal Ministry of Energy, Petroleum and Mines (MEPM) is implementing a training programme to build capacity in long-term energy planning among the public institutions of Senegal’s energy sector. Using IRENA’s SPLAT-MESSAGE model for power system capacity expansion planning, the programme provides in-depth training on scenario development, and provide a platform to enhance institutional capacity to own and implement long-term national plans. The programme includes the creation of a national working team, further development of the SPLAT-Senegal national model, multiple hands-on training sessions, and support to draft a masterplan document which can be utilized in Senegal’s official planning process. The work of the programme is harmonised with the Continental Power System Masterplan (CMP) being developed by the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), supported by IRENA as modelling partner.
This event was the high-level closing meeting for the first phase of the programme. The event focused on highlighting and disseminating the programme outcomes, which include power sector investment scenarios for Senegal’s official planning process to meet its RE targets. It gathered at least 20 participants from the official national working team and other high-level stakeholders in the Senegal energy planning process.
Closed meeting, by invitation only.
