| Resumo: | Given the urgency of the climate crisis, Italy’s energy transition requires robust tools to analyze and guide system evolution. Many existing models simulate long-term scenarios but often overlook the detailed Pathway and hourly dynamics needed to integrate intermittent renewables effectively. In this work EnergyScope Pathway for Italy is developed, an open-source model that optimizes both long-term investment decisions and hourly operation across the entire energy system. Applied to the Italian context, the model helps identify consistent strategies based on energy efficiency, electrification, and renewable integration. The aim is not to propose a new method, but to demonstrate how a transparent and adaptable modelling framework can support the analysis of national energy transitions with greater clarity and reproducibility. |
