Model scope

The CLEWs-Ethiopia model is a linear optimisation model. It uses a cost minimisation approach to identify the system configuration with the lowest cost over a model horizon, subject to a set of constraints. Below is a summary of the model scope:

Sectors: Land, energy, water

Time resolution: 6 timeslices

Time horizon: 2019-2030

Spatial resolution: 10 regions represented as 21 ‘clusters’
