South Africa Integrated Energy Modelling Dataset: MAED and OSeMOSYS Input Parameters, Outputs and Model Code (2020–2050)

This dataset contains the integrated input parameters used for modelling the South African electricity sector from 2020 to 2050. The data is organized into two primary spreadsheets: Demand Modelling (MAED): Contains the socio-economic and technical input parameters used to generate long-term electricity demand projections. These projections serve as the demand-side basis for the supply-side modelling. Supply-Side Modelling (OSeMOSYS): Includes techno-economic data and assumptions for the South African electricity sector. The dataset also includes the model code for the baseline and 4 scenarios for the OSeMOSYS supply-side model: Baseline: Business-As-Usual  Scenario 1: Net Zero 2050 Scenario 2: IRP 2023 Investment Constraints Scenario 3: High Demand Net Zero 2050 Scenario 4: High Demand IRP 2023 Investment Constraints ; and the MAED demand-side model model code for two scenarios: Baseline High Demand Finally, the dataset includes model outputs from OSeMOSYS and MAED for all scenarios. OSeMOSYS outputs for each scenario are included as text files, and the MAED outputs are included in the formatted MAED input_results spreadsheet.
