heal.abstract	The development of energy analysis and planning models has closely matched the emphasis on energy policies over the past three decades. The policy arena is now dominated by the concepts of market reform, sustainable development, and global climate change. The needs that an energy model should meet are constantly changing, due to technological, social, and political reasons. Effective energy planning is a dynamic process that is repeated periodically and adjusts to changing conditions. The models identified as in use in the 12 countries of North Africa and Eastern Mediterranean are ENPEP, LEAP, MARKAL, and PRIMES. Each energy model has advantages and disadvantages that users have to trade off. This article reviews the energy-planning models used internationally and throughout the 12 countries and proposes the most practical route to harmonizing energy models in use throughout this region, in the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean Energy Cooperation.	en
