نبذة مختصرة : The chapter presents the concept of a model developed to support planning of energy access and transition to sustainability in emerging cities of the sub-Saharan Africa region. Energy planning software is the most used tool for the description and planning of an energy system. Existing software features several drawbacks that make them irrelevant for planning energy systems in cities like Dakar, Senegal. This chapter documents the reasons why existing energy planning software is not suitable for planning these energy systems. It also proposes a new approach for designing a software (MoCES) that is tailored to the needs of Dakar, using a combination of multi-criteria decision-making analysis, energy landscaping, and visual computing. MoCES is an innovative tool that supports the rising citizens’ engagement to access and transition to a sustainable energy future, which integrates all dimensions of sustainability, including economic affordability, social acceptance and environment friendliness.
