      <strong>🌍 Energy Modelling Platforms (EMPs)</strong>
    </a>
  </h3>
  <p style="font-size: 0.95rem;">By offering training to professionals from the Global South, the Energy Modelling Platforms (EMPs) enable these countries to gather critical data, perform independent analyses, and develop credible investment proposals for clean energy infrastructure projects. EMPs play a vital role in what we refer to as local capacity building.</p>
