Stage 4.5 Identify data gaps

Who's Involved
  • Assignment Management Team and some of workshop participants
Timing and time required
  • During and immediately following the ‘Climate risk management and cost-benefit analysis’ workshop
  • 0.5 days
Key questions
  1. Is the objective clearly defined and can all the agreed options meet the objective?
  2. What are the key cost and benefit ‘aspects’ of the options, in relation to the agreed list of evaluation parameters?
  3. What information is best sourced from the workshop attendees?
  4. What information is best sourced from international best practice / design / experience?
Tools
  • 'Climate risk management and cost-benefit analysis’ workshop summary form
Guidance
  1. It is important to obtain and utilize as much data as possible from the workshop attendees and local stakeholders.  This is to ensure greater buy-in to the analysis and more accurate assessment of the parameters.
  2. Data gaps to consider include:
    • Specific performance capacities and efficiencies of energy assets,
    • Capital and operational cost data,
    • Details of technical and physical limitations on specific energy assets,
    • Land value,
    • Fuel and power pricing,
    • Impacts of climate change on the performance of the energy sector (supply-side assets and demand),
    • Impacts of adaptation options on the performance of specific energy sector assets.
Outputs
  • Table of data required, including the proposed source of the data
