The objective of this paper is to describe a linked modelling system developed and elaborated for the analysis of regional energy and economy interactions. The work presented aims to demonstrate feasibility of the paradigm, also exploited by Jorgenson (1982) on the national level, and Foell (1980) on the regional: that the design and construction of alternative scenarios on the basis of a system of linked energy-economy models enhances, significantly the evaluation of alternative strategies. Furthermore, the paper presents a rigid and robust linkage between various regional economic and energy models and established the whole system in a user-friendly simulation environment.
