Azerbaijan means the land of fire and energy resources as natural gas simply sets the country on fire. As the country moves forward new investments in energy and infrastructure are needed.
To ensure an informed decision process Energy Modelling Lab has supported the Government of Azerbaijan in developing and implementing a long-term energy strategy. We have created a tailored energy systems model, the TIMES-AZ, using the TIMES energy modelling framework.
MODELLING
Energy Modelling Lab has developed and implemented a full energy model (TIMES-AZ) for Azerbaijan, connecting all relevant sectors from energy and heating to transport and industry.
SCENARIO ANALYSIS
The model is used for long-term energy systems and climate policy planning.
TRAINING
Energy Modelling Lab is supporting the Government of Azerbaijan with training in the use of the energy system model.
