Holding organized workshops with key staff (technical and managerial staff and other staff that would interact with the system) to identify the key features required for a successful transition to a new transmission planning system (or other major software or system change) and review and evaluate the different alternatives will help create buy-in and also result in a quality decision, factoring in the contributions of different team members. The software system chosen through this kind of process will be respected and will have a high likelihood of successful implementation and uptake.

One of the delays of the TA was due to KEGOC’s changing major assumptions of the transmission planning system model, which required redesign and simulation analyses. This highlights the importance of the Consultant’s communicating the importance of determining the client’s model assumptions clearly, considering upcoming/planned changes to transmission assets and anticipated changes to power and capacity trading arrangements.

Consultation in the design phase is critical to develop a clear understanding of requirements and allow any issues to be flagged upfront and factored into the design of the project in terms of scope, cost estimates, schedule and allocation of human resources. Some specific areas to ensure coverage in the design process of a similar project are: • The extent of data requirements • Data availability • Data accessibility, and whether language translation will be required.

One of the delays of the TA was caused by DIgSILENT’s waiting for the Ministry of Energy to provide locations for potential renewable energy generation sources by region. The Ministry of Energy was preoccupied at the time with other pressing issues. The flagging of upcoming input requirements from partners well in advance will enable them to plan and allocate adequate resources to the task, as well as give them opportunity to identify issues with the Consultant’s expected delivery schedule and make necessary adjustments.

TA projects should specify what change is expected from the ‘active participation’ of stakeholders in the activities. The TCR could have commented on the extent to which this ‘active participation’ helped improve the quality of results and buy-in or how the TA managed to secure engagement of relevant stakeholders.

The development of knowledge products is insufficient to build capacity and support uptake of findings by partners. Using appropriate dissemination pathways is important in engaging relevant stakeholders and decision makers to adopt the key messages. The main dissemination pathways for the JCC case study and the three CBM reports seem to be through presentations to relevant authorities and targeted training activities to strengthen awareness, institutional capacity, standards, and policies.
