METIS technical note T1 : methodology for the integration of PRIMES scenarios into METIS

METIS is an on-going project initiated by DG ENER for the development of an energy modelling software, with the aim to further support DG ENER's evidence-based policy making, especially in the areas of electricity and gas. The software is developed by Artelys with the support of IAEW (RWTH Aachen University), ConGas and Frontier Economics as part of Horizons 2020 and is closely followed by DG ENER. This technical note aims at providing information on how the Consortium integrated PRIMES data into METIS. The methodology was used to calibrate METIS EUCO27 scenario, based on the PRIMES EUCO27 scenario projections, but the same approach can be used for other PRIMES scenario, even other energy system models in general.
