The 31st edition of the International Energy Workshop (IEW) will be held at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, on June 19–21, 2012.

The IEW (www.internationalenergyworkshop.org) is a leading conference for the international energy modeling community. In a world of environmental and economic constraints, energy modeling is an increasingly important tool for addressing the complexity of energy planning and policy making. The IEW provides a venue for scholars and researchers to compare quantitative energy projections, to understand the reasons for diverging views of future energy developments, and to observe new trends in global energy production and consumption.

This years event is set to include three plenary sessions and has provision for 120 presentations in parallel sessions focused on a wide array of topics, including energy supply and price forecasts, energy efficiency, climate change, renewable energy, and the interface of energy, environmental, and economic issues.
