Notice Title

Development of Whole System Energy Scenarios for Scotland

Notice Description

ClimateXChange wishes to commission research to develop a set of energy system scenarios that reflect the Scottish energy system and context, and which outline a viable range of potential futures.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The future of the energy system is uncertain. Scenario development is an important way to take account of this uncertainty when making decisions. The project seeks to produce a comprehensive, Scotland wide, Scotland specific energy system scenario set covering the whole energy system, and showing multiple ways it could develop. This scenario set should be underpinned by a logical framework which clearly sets out the rationale for, and the definition of, the set of energy system futures.
