Potential Temperature Trends under Climate Change Scenarios and the Impact on Energy Demand across Canada

This contract will focus on executing model runs of approximately 5 pre-defined scenarios using the E2020 model. These scenarios will in effect, challenge an assumption that the weather (as represented here by temperature) of the past 30 years will be the weather of the next 30 years. As such, under this project the Contractor will need to modify the model in order to more precisely capture the monthly fluctuations in temperature and increase the sensitivity to the model to this variable that in the past may have been assumed to be relatively stable over time. In addition to output files aggregated and disaggregated as specified, the Contractor will assist with the analysis of the results, make adjustments to scenario data if required, prepare documentation pertaining to E2020 in non-technical language that will be incorporated into a final report, and provide support to the Project Authority in meetings.
