 | The Energy and Power Evaluation Program (ENPEP) is a premier energy system analysis software used to analyze priority energy and environmental issues in over 80 countries.
|
| In ENPEP, an energy network is designed to trace the flow of energy from primary resources, through processing and conversion, to useful energy demands. Concurrently with the energy calculations, ENPEP computes the environmental residuals associated with a given energy system configuration. In addition to air pollutants, these residuals may include waste generation, water pollution, and land use. Greenhouse gas emissions can be reported in a format that is compatible with the reporting standards defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
ENPEP applications include: • energy and environmental policy evaluation and strategy development • energy resource assessment • evaluating potential for energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies • greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation assessment.

| How is ENPEP different from other energy planning tools? |
| The most recent version of the program, called ENPEP for Windows, employs a market share algorithm to estimate the penetration of supply alternatives. The market share of a specific commodity is sensitive to the commodity’s price relative to the price of alternative commodities. User-defined constraints (e.g., capacity limits), government policies (taxes, subsidies, priority for domestic resource over imported resource, etc.), consumer preferences, and the ability of markets to respond to price signals over time (i.e., due to lag times in capital stock turnover) also affect the market share of a commodity.
Using a market share algorithm distinguishes the non-linear equilibrium approach in ENPEP from other modeling techniques and enables the model to more accurately simulate the complex market behavior of multiple decision makers. While each sector (electric, industrial, residential, etc.) pursues different objectives and may have very different views of what is “optimum,” the equilibrium solution develops an energy system configuration that balances the conflicting demands, objectives, and market forces without postulating a false “global optimum solution” across all sectors of the economy.

| What do independent reviewers say about ENPEP? |
| Noting the need to analyze policy issues dominated by market reform, sustainable development, and global climate change, the European Union contracted an independent review of energy planning and analysis software utilized in Mediterranean countries. The independent review recommended ENPEP as “Tool of Choice” for energy planning in the region.
