THE CAPACITY GAP
Demand for analysis is outpacing capacity.
Analysis is multiplying
- More renewables, storage and transmission make studies more complex
- Markets and policy shift faster, so studies go stale sooner
- Decisions need more scenarios and sensitivities behind them
- More of the business wants answers, from trading to strategy and finance
- Answers are due inside the decision window, from regulatory filings to deals
Capacity is maxed out
- Only a few experts can run the deepest analysis
- Days or weeks go to preparing data and setting up studies
- Siloed data and manual handoffs slow studies down
- When a key modeler is out, work stalls
- What-ifs go unexplored because there isn't time
The gap between what your teams need to analyze and what they can deliver keeps widening. The result? Decisions made on only the scenarios there was time to run.
HOW IT WORKS
From raw data to your next decision, in a single working session.
Data preparation and validation, model updates and results analysis that used to take days and several handoffs now happen in one conversation, using your own trusted methodologies and assumptions.
01 — ASK
Describe what you need
In plain language. You decide how much to hand off.
02 — BUILD
Prepare data and models
Update your own models, a Simulation Ready Dataset or a PLEXOS® Playbook with your latest data, or build a new model from a plain-language request.
03 — RUN
Simulate at any scale
Run thousands of scenarios on the PLEXOS® engine with on-demand compute, and troubleshoot issues in seconds, with suggested fixes.
04 — APPROVE
Choose your level of control
Review and approve each step before it acts, or let it work through the steps on its own. Either way, every change is tracked and visible.
05 — DECIDE
Put answers in front of decision makers
Planners, traders, and executives ask questions, explore what-ifs and share answers confidently.
Intelligence, on repeat.
Automated pipelines
Content-driven simulation
Faster scenario building and iteration
Conversational analytics and dashboards
Output: delivery and stakeholder reporting
This is a loop. Run it again and again, faster every time.
Customer results
Customers use PLEXOS® Intelligence for their hardest work.
AEP
1–2 weeks → ~1 day
Loading IRP resource data into PLEXOS® now runs as a reusable skill. The AI also caught a battery/generator classification error on its own, before it could skew results.
More IRP scenarios before regulatory deadlines.
Yepas / Akılcı Bilişim
~10x more efficient
Ran 16 simulations in one session, with the AI adjusting the model until price forecasts matched history. Automation then cut a Türkiye data update from months to weeks.
Calibrated forecasts ready for trading sooner.
OPC Energy
Faster fixes
After updating its model for new market rules, OPC’s team asked targeted questions of the results, traced unexpected behavior to a single configuration error, and validated the fix, avoiding hours of manual investigation.
Less time preparing data, more time on strategy.
Across six use cases
Energy Exemplar’s own data team put PLEXOS® Intelligence to work across real workflows:
2x–8x
faster work
~198
analyst-hours saved in one month
13.7% → 8.8%
short-term price-forecast error
~20 sec
scenario comparisons that used to take days

Trust, transparency and governance
Built so IT and security teams can approve it with confidence.
Every AI action is visible, and every change can be reviewed and traced.
Your data stays yours
Customer data is never used to train AI models. Conversation content isn't written to application logs, and content capture can be switched off per tenant.
Isolated and certified
An isolated tenant with AES-256 encryption and single sign-on, hosted in regional Azure data centers in North America, Europe, Australia and India. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, monitored 24x7.
Your team controls the AI
You keep full authority to override anything the AI recommends. Approve every step, or let it work on its own and see every decision it made afterward. Changes happen on a copy of your study, never the original, and are checked before any simulation runs. Build reusable skills so it follows your team's methods.
Every change is traceable
Model changes are versioned and shown side by side, and automated workflows keep an immutable record of every run, so results can be defended to regulators and internal review.
Admins stay in control
Role-based access, license controls, usage monitoring and spend limits. Workspaces are private by default.
One accountable partner
Engine, AI, security and support from one company, backed by 25+ years of validation with ISOs, TSOs, regulators, energy departments and state commissions.
