1790 Views I want to use LEAP for Least Cost Electricity Mix Plan. I have got the yearly data since 1980? For good results how many years data will be OK to use?
Second, I want to use it for electricity supply and demand on sector level like residential, commercial, industrial, may I do like this in LEAP?

The number of historical years that you use is up to you - it's not a question that I can answer for you. Whatever you feel is necessary to achieve a balance between good statistics and data availability.
Yes, you can model sectoral demand and electricity supply in LEAP. I would suggest that you look over our online training materials to get a better idea of LEAP's capabilities. Exercise Six focuses on least-cost optimization.
