Application of EnergyPlan modelling tool for comparative analysis of selected energy policies in case of Latvia

This paper represents a study on application of energy modelling tool EnergyPlan for evaluation of different, predefined energy policy scenarios with varying penetration of renewable energy and flexibility sources in a national energy system for long-term planning and decision-making purposes. The modelling results suggest that from point of view of socio-economic and environmental performance, the scenario combining active support of renewable energy and energy efficiency measures is the most sustainable.
