Hi everyone,

I am trying to replicate the OSeMOSYS Kenya PSM model shared here:

> **[GitHub - ClimateCompatibleGrowth/osemosys\_kenya\_psm: Repository to host the OSeMOSYS Kenya Power System...](https://github.com/ClimateCompatibleGrowth/osemosys_kenya_psm)**
>
> Repository to host the OSeMOSYS Kenya Power System Model (PSM)

I followed the instructions and solved the model using **glpsol** , which produced a **results.txt** file.

I have two questions:

### **1. Pre‑processing question**

The shared model uses **.txt data files** (MathProg data format).  
Is it possible to use **clicSAND** or **MUIO** as a pre‑processing interface for these `.txt` data files?

### **2. Post‑processing question**

What is the recommended way to post‑process the **GLPK results**?

- Is there a way to convert the GLPK `results.txt` into **CSV files**?

- Can I use **MUIO** or **SAND Excel Interface** to read and visualise the results?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.  
Thank you!
