Events – LTES Network and LTES Initiative
ShowHide Quick Links
Since May 2018, IRENA has organised a series of events that have gathered experts from around the world to exchange experiences and good practices regarding the development and use of long-term energy scenarios that support the clean energy transition.
The discussions at these events have touched upon a broad range of topics, from the institutional use of long-term energy scenarios to advanced modelling techniques that capture the complexities of the energy system.
More information about the events detailed below is available upon request at ltes@irena.org.
