About
TEMBA is the world's first model of African electricity supply that represents each continental African country's electricity supply system and transmission links between them. Its development was sponsored by World Bank and SIDA. It was presented at the Africa Pavilion at COP21, where its application for national energy planning was discussed by the attending government officials and policy makers. The model is open source and written in OSeMOSYS. TEMBA is constantly being updated to ensure use of more precise and country-specific data across the continent.
