No problems encountered to register, download,
unpack, and run:

  $ glpsol --model etem.mod --data city_a.dat

  GLPSOL: GLPK LP/MIP Solver, v4.47
  ...
  OPTIMAL SOLUTION FOUND

Here are some text stats:

    2122    149     363     etem.mod

The documentation looks great:

  Drouet, Laurent and Julien Thénié.  2009.  ETEM
      : an energy-technology-environment model to
      assess urban sustainable development
      policies -- Reference manual version 2.1.
      ORDECSYS (Operations Research Decisions and
      Systems) Technical Report, Chêne-Bougeries,
      Switzerland.  10 August 2009.

This PDF is part of the software bundle.

For the record, the Eclipse Public License v1.0 is
used for the code.

The following presentation also gives some useful
background to ETEM:

  Drouet, Laurent and Dan Zachary.  2010.
      Economic aspects of the ETEM model --
      Presentation.  21 May 2010.

Thanks for the tip!  Best wishes, Robbie
