In my study area, I have a total electricity generation of 35500 GWh in 2017. I want to see what would be the optimum electricity generation in that year by considering the water consumption of each electricity generation process. Hence, I just make a one-year simulation in LEAP and try to obtain that 35500 GWh electricity generation with a different electricity generation scheme which will be given by LEAP. Hence, I want LEAP to generate exactly 35500 GWh of electricity. However, when I run the optimization, it generates around 140000 GWh of electricity although I specify the electricity demand as 35500 GWh both for the years 2017 and 2018. How can I make LEAP to give exactly 35500 GWh of electricity? You can find the results table in the attachment. Thanks in advance,

Could you you share your LEAP data set with me so I can try and work out why it would do this? It does seem a bit strange! Please email it as a .leap file to Charlie.heaps@sei.org. I will only use the data for debugging purposes. Will keep it confidential and delete it after debugging. You can create the .leap file via the Backup button on the LEAP main toolbar.

Best
