CCG’s open-source modelling tools and frameworks are designed to combine intricate modelling with user-friendly designs and interfaces. Together, the ecosystem of models spans the full range of planning and financing issues associated with energy transition. This includes projecting energy access and demand, system capacity planning, and the design of financing strategies.
CCG curates a suite of open-source modelling tools and frameworks that support the energy planning process for the climate transition in low- and middle-income countries. Many of these tools are contributed to by a range of international partners, including IAEA, IRENA, KTH, UNDESA and The World Bank.
These tools aim to support countries moving along the investment pipeline from ‘Data-to-Deal’. The term Data-to-Deal refers to actions taken throughout an entire process that runs from data collection, system modelling, and development planning to national financing strategies, project finance arrangements, and the agreement of a deal (ie receiving financing for a transaction). These are also all driven by a strong stakeholder engagement process.
The tools are split into three categories:
- Geographic Information Systems
- Techno-economic
- Financial
