The Western Balkans model is uncalibrated. It has not been through TransitionZero’s model calibration standard, so results have not been checked against historical capacities, generation, emissions, or trade. Use it for exploratory analysis out of the box, and calibrate it for modelling work.

Changelog

TBC
Western Balkans 6-node model (uncalibrated) added to Scenario Builder, with support for capacity expansion and dispatch scenarios. Base data was contributed by an external partner.
