Dynamic Dispatch Model Upgrade

Notice Description

The power sector model will be used to provide strategic and tactical analysis for policy makers in the department and will need to be both flexible and highly granular to allow the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero analysts to effectively influence decision making.

Lot Information

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero is looking to procure a licence to use a power sector model (including access to standardised data sets). This model would be a replacement for the Dynamic Dispatch Model that the Department currently uses for both strategic analysis, that is, quantifying the collective impacts of all existing and planned policies, and analysis on specific policies or changes in the power sector.
