The Long-term Scenarios for the Clean Transition (LTES) Initiative, formerly known as the LTES Campaign, aims to promote the improved use of long-term model-based energy scenarios to support and accelerate the energy transition among CEM countries.
The initiative is co-led by the Danish and German governments and supported by additional country members and technical partners, while IRENA executes the initiative as the coordinator.
Launched at the Ninth Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM9) in May 2018 in Copenhagen as a CEM campaign, it was agreed in 2021 by CEM, Germany, Denmark, and IRENA to upgrade it to the LTES Initiative to make it a long-term workstream with broadened activities.

Goals

The LTES Initiative seeks to promote the improved use of long-term model-based energy scenarios by:

Sharing country experience in the use and benefits of long-term energy scenario modelling for national and regional policy planning,
Showcasing innovative scenario approaches and modelling methods for addressing clean energy transition features,
and Identifying channels to build and enhance national capacity for clean energy transition planning and to share with countries with limited experience.

WORKSHOP, EVENTS AND WEBINARS

Goal

Since 2018, LTES have organized multiple series of events to exchange experiences and best practices for long-term energy scenarios that support the clean energy transition.

Goal

The LTES Initiative works to synthesize the 100+ topics and good practice examples discussed in its events and webinars into timely reports that facilitate international debate and guide national policy-making.
