An overview of energy planning research is presented on implementation of the LEAP model for Tanzania through the use of optimization models in combination with a forecasting program. Two models were developed in the research. The first determines the optimum mix of energy resources at minimum cost. The second seeks the optimum number of end-use biomass devices and hectares of land to be afforested to minimize the woodfuel deficit. The second model was tested using data for Dar es Salaam only. The output of a forecasting program was fed into optimization models the outputs of which were entered into LEAP. The LEAP model is run using optimal and non-optimal inputs for comparison. The results prove the hypothesis that energy planning with the LEAP model is more effective if the model is complemented by optimization models.
