AETOS (Africa–Europe Energy Transition OSeMOSYS) model repository. Includes the model code, input datasets, results and documentation, developed under the RE-INTEGRATE project.
AETOS — Africa–Europe Energy Transition OSeMOSYS
A multi-country open-source energy system model integrating Europe and Africa.
---
## Overview
The **AETOS** (Africa–Europe Energy Transition OSeMOSYS) model is a large-scale,
multi-country, open-source energy system model developed under the
**RE-INTEGRATE** Horizon Europe project (Grant No. 101118217).
It integrates and extends the **OSeMBE (Europe)** and **TEMBA (Africa)** frameworks,
providing a unified cross-continental representation of:
- national electricity systems
- cross-border interconnectors
- natural gas trade infrastructure
- LNG terminals and pipelines
The model enables scenario analysis supporting economic planning, infrastructure
investments, decarbonization strategy, and energy-security assessment across
**78 countries** (48 in Africa, 30 in Europe).
