Modeling Renewable Energy Projects

PLEXOS® allows renewable energy developers and investors to optimize renewable energy projects by simulating real-world scenarios and analyzing key market variables. 

As the energy industry accelerates its shift toward renewables, accurately modeling renewable energy projects including wind, solar, and storage projects is essential for ensuring grid reliability and maximizing investment returns. 

Variability in weather patterns and evolving market dynamics create uncertainty, making it crucial for renewable energy developers and investors to assess projects with precision. 

By simulating real-world conditions and utilizing advanced forecasting, PLEXOS® empowers renewable developers to mitigate risks, uncover market opportunities, and maximize returns on renewable energy assets.
