Powering India's Clean Energy Future with Advanced Energy Modelling

India has set an ambitious target to install 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, requiring a major transformation of its energy infrastructure. As the country rapidly scales up solar, wind, and battery storage projects, optimised energy planning and grid stability have become critical challenges.

Energy Exemplar’s PLEXOS energy modelling software is playing a key role in helping Indian energy stakeholders - including independent power producers, transmission utilities, and regulatory bodies - plan and implement reliable, cost-effective renewable energy systems.

A recent Austrade case study highlights how Energy Exemplar is contributing to India’s energy transition. The case study explores:

• How PLEXOS enables Indian organisations to model energy production, optimise renewable integration, and ensure grid stability.
• The role of Energy Exemplar’s India Center of Excellence, where over 200 highly skilled professionals support clients in energy planning and market modelling.
• How collaborations with government agencies, utilities, and industry leaders are accelerating India’s transition to a low-carbon future.

With a growing presence in more than 80 countries, Energy Exemplar is committed to supporting India’s net-zero goals by equipping decision-makers with the tools needed to develop a resilient, decarbonised energy system.
