Brief Description |
Argentina |
SENER |
Annual Energy Projections/Prospectiva (Spanish) 1998, 1999, 2000 |
Argentina's Ministry of Energy (SENER) used the MAED model to conduct its electric load forecast published in the annual energy outlook (Prospectiva). |
Argentina |
IEE-Bariloche, PNL |
Electric Power Options in Argentina |
The team of experts from the Institute for Energy Economics (IEE) at the Fundacion Bariloche and Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) described the context for new investments in the power sector and identified principal trends under three alternative policy scenarios, including Reference Case, Renewable Energy and Nuclear Power Scenario, and Energy Efficiency Scenario. The team used the MAED model to develop the electric load forecast. |
Argentina |
CNEA |
Alternative Expansion Projections for the Argentine Power Generation System |
Experts at Argentina's National Nuclear Research Commission (CNEA) used WASP to analyze different expansion schedules for that country's power generation system. |
Brazil |
CEMIG |
Environmental Impacts of Hydro-Thermal Power Generation in Minas Gerais until 2015
|
Analysts at the power company in Brazil's State of Minas Gerais (CEMIG) used ENPEP-BALANCE to analyze the environmental impacts from the power generation sector. |
Brazil |
CEMIG, CEEESA |
Capacity Building in
Energy and Power Systems Analysis in Brazil |
CEEESA assisted energy and environmental experts at the power company of the State of Minas Gerais (CEMIG) in using the
ENPEP-BALANCE and WASP models as well as the VALORAGUA model to analyze Minas Gerais' future electricity and energy needs and to estimate the associated environmental burdens. The project was supported by the U.S. Government and the IAEA. |
Colombia |
UPME |
Colombia's Annual Energy Projections |
The Planning and Mining Unit (UPME) at the Colombian Ministry of Energy uses ENPEP-BALANCE for its annual energy, natural gas, and electricity market projections, which are published on its web site. |
Colombia |
UPME |
The Potential for Natural Gas Vehicles as a Clean Transport Mode |
The Planning and Mining Unit (UPME) at the Colombian Ministry of Energy used ENPEP-BALANCE to analyze the impacts of an accelerated introduction of natural gas-fueled vehicles into Colombia's transportation sector. |
Colombia |
UPME |
Analyzing the Effects of End-Use Appliance Standards in Colombia |
The Planning and Mining Unit (UPME) at the Colombian Ministry of Energy used ENPEP-BALANCE to analyze the effects of introducing end-use appliance standards on national final energy consumption and emissions. |
Colombia |
UPME, CEEESA |
Capacity Building in
Energy and Power Systems Analysis in Colombia
|
CEEESA assisted Colombia's Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) and the Nuclear Energy Institute (INEA) in using MAED, WASP,
ENPEP-BALANCE, and VALORAGUA. CEEESA trained a local team of experts in using these tools to analyze Colombia's future electricity and energy needs and to estimate the associated environmental burdens in the form of PM, SO2, NOX, and CO2 emissions. Different pollution control strategies were also analyzed. The project was supported by the U.S. Government and the IAEA. |
Jamaica |
CEEESA |
Expanding Jamaica's Power Generation System
|
The Jamaica Public Service Company (JPSCo) used WASP to develop a least-cost expansion plan for its system. Sponsored by the National Investment Bank of Jamaica, CEEESA staff reviewed this plan and re-ran the WASP model to obtain a new expansion schedule. |

SENER, UNAM, CONAE, PEMEX, IMP, INE, CEEESA |
Capacity Building in
Energy Systems
Analysis in Mexico
|
CEEESA collaborated with several Mexican institutions on implementing ENPEP-BALANCE to analyze Mexico's future energy needs and to estimate the associated environmental burdens. The project was supported by the U.S. Government and the IAEA in Vienna. The main objective of the project was capacity building in energy and environmental analysis. CEEESA supported this objective by providing training and technical support to a Mexican team of experts that conducted an analysis of Mexico’s entire energy supply and demand system using CEEESA's latest version of the popular ENPEP-BALANCE software. The Mexican team included experts from SENER, PEMEX, UNAM, IMP, INE, and CONAE. |
Mexico |
SENER |
Experiencias Mexicanas con los Modelos Bottom-up (Spanish) |
At a Mexico-U.S. Economic and Environmental Modeling Workshop sponsored by the EPA, the Director General of the "Información y Estudios Energéticos" section at SENER presented the Ministry's experience with different bottom-up modeling approaches, including the latest modeling activities with ENPEP-BALANCE. |
Mexico |
UNAM, SENER |
ENPEP Model and
CO2 Emissions in Mexico |
At a Mexico-U.S. Economic and Environmental Modeling Workshop sponsored by the EPA, the experts from UNAM and SENER presented the most recent modeling activities in Mexico using the ENPEP-BALANCE software. |
Peru |
IPEN, MEM, CEEESA |
Capacity Building in
Energy and Power Systems Analysis in Peru
|
CEEESA assisted Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) and the Nuclear Energy Institute (IPEN) in using the
ENPEP-BALANCE and WASP to analyze Peru's future electricity and energy needs and to estimate the associated environmental burdens in the form of PM, SO2, NOX, and CO2 emissions. Different pollution control strategies were also analyzed. The project was supported by the U.S. Government and the IAEA.
IPEN is now conducting its own ENPEP training courses teaching local experts in the use of the model. Click here for more information. |
Uruguay |
CEEESA |
Analyzing Uruguay's Natural Gas Market |
The Government of Uruguay contracted with CEEESA to conduct a detailed energy supply and demand analysis
using ENPEP-BALANCE. Specifically, CEEESA was asked to analyze the potential for expanding electricity ties with Argentina and Brazil and developing a new natural gas infrastructure. CEEESA collaborated with several Uruguayan institutions, including the presidential planning office and oil, gas, and electric companies. |
Uruguay |
DINAMA, OPP, DNE |
Analysis of Uruguay's Energy Sector GHG Mitigation Options (Spanish) |
Expanding the Uruguay ENPEP-BALANCE model developed by CEEESA under the natural gas study, the National Environment Office (DINAMA), in collaboration with the Energy Office (DNE), and the Planning Ministry (OPP) analyzed a variety of energy sector GHG mitigation options. Funded by UNDP, CEEESA provided technical support to the team. |
USA |
CEEESA |
Mitigating U.S. Carbon Emissions |
Using ENPEP-BALANCE, CEEESA analyzed the impacts of specific carbon mitigation policies for the U.S. Department of Energy. |
Venezuela |
MEM |
Venezuela's GHG Mitigation Options Analysis as Part of the National Communication |
Sponsored by the U.S. Government, CEEESA assisted experts from Venezuela's Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) in using the
ENPEP-BALANCE model to conduct a detailed energy supply and demand analysis, project carbon emissions under a baseline scenario, and develop a number of GHG mitigation scenarios. |
