IRENA\u2019s mission is to play a leading role in the ongoing transformation of the global energy systems as a centre of excellence for knowledge and innovation, a global voice of renewable energy, a network hub for all stakeholders and a source of advice and support for countries. At present, IRENA has 169 Members (168 States and the European Union) that acceded to its Statute, and 15 additional States in the process of accession and actively engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Agency implements its mandate with the view to sustainable development, increased energy security and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity. To achieve this goal, IRENA\u2019s Innovation and Technology Centre (IITC) has provided a range of insights on possible paths for such a transformation, spanning multiple geographic areas, sectors and topics. Models, scenarios, and planning processes play key roles in the development of transition paths.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Against this background, the Energy Planning Support and Power Sector Transformation (EPPST) team in IRENA provides\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irena.org\/Energy-Transition\/Planning\/Long-term-energy-planning-support\/Capacity-building-for-energy-planning-and-modelling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">energy planning capacity-building<\/a>\u00a0support around the world. This includes a wide range of on-the-ground activities, such as regional training workshops and support for countries in developing national energy master plans. As part of this work, the EPPST team develops, maintains, and supports the use of an in-house long-term electricity generation capacity expansion model called the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irena.org\/Energy-Transition\/Planning\/SPLAT-Models-for-Africa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">System Planning Test (SPLAT)<\/a>\u00a0model, built with the MESSAGE modelling software. To-date the SPLAT models have been developed for 50 African countries and are being used in the making of the African Continental Power Systems Master Plan (CMP) and the ongoing IRENA\u2019s Regional Energy Transition Outlook (RETO) studies on Africa. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ufeff<a href=\"https:\/\/solareyesinternational.com\/x54-solar-jobs-at-schneider-electric-different-countries-and-locations-apply\/\">x54 Solar Jobs at Schneider Electric \u2013 Different Countries and Locations \u2013 APPLY<\/a><span data-rich-text-placeholder=\"Type \/ to choose a block or \/\/ to use Content AI\" style=\"pointer-events:none;user-select:none;-webkit-user-select:none;-moz-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Objectives of the Internship Assignment<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intern will contribute in a wide range of projects under the thematic category of Planning for the Global Energy Transition.
