On 15 July 2024, REN21 co-organised the fifth and final PAC workshop Long Term Energy Scenarios Network Workshop, namely "Stakeholder Engagement in Energy Planning: Across All Voltage Levels", in collaboration with the Renewables Grid Initiative and the International Renewable Energy Agency.
The workshop focused on:
- Raising awareness about the importance of energy system planning (including grids) at all voltage levels, with an integrated approach.
- Discussing how stakeholders can collaborate in such complex processes.
- Sharing experiences and successful initiatives from Africa, America and Europe.
- Energy system planning at both the transmission and the distribution level with a focus on the planning stage.
- Civil society involvement in energy system planning.
- Discussing the importance of knowledge sharing to build capacity from all stakeholder groups to organise and implement such collaborations to effectively contribute to energy system planning.
We thank the speakers and participants for diving into the various aspects of energy planning, enabling better renewable energy deployment!
This event was part of the PAC project (Paris Agreement Compatible Scenarios for Energy Infrastructure).
