Long-Term Energy Scenarios (LTES) for Developing National Clean Energy Transition Plans in Latin America

The series of virtual seminars was a joint initiative of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and Caribbean (UN ECLAC) and GET.transform. It is part of the activities under IRENA’s Long-term Energy Scenarios (LTES) Network, in the framework of UN ECLAC’s Technical Forum of Energy Planners (FOREPLEN).

The series provided a platform to exchange knowledge, collect best practices and experiences from government energy planners in Latin America in the development and use of long-term energy scenarios to guide national energy plans in the clean energy transition. The seminars explored the topic around the three main themes shown below.
