Now Available: PLEXOS® Intelligence for Faster, Smarter Decision-Making

Written by Team Energy Exemplar | Jun 4, 2025 6:33:15 AM

With PLEXOS® Intelligence, teams can go from simulation to strategy faster, without delays, handoffs, or rework. 

It transforms raw model outputs into clear, actionable insights for planners, traders, analysts, and executives alike. 

Valuable insights only matter if they reach decision-makers fast 

 

You’ve completed a run in PLEXOS. Now you need to understand what it means. 

But that’s where many teams get stuck waiting on analysts to translate results, troubleshooting errors manually, or digging through outputs to find a single answer. The delay between simulation and action can be hours, days, or longer—especially when results need to be interpreted for leadership, adjusted for re-runs, or explained to stakeholders outside of the modeling team. 

The model isn’t the problem. It’s the time it takes to extract meaning from the output that is. 

 

The cost of slow insight is real 

 

When model outputs aren’t immediately usable: 

  • Traders spend time interpreting results instead of acting on them.
  • Planners need to rerun or revise scenarios but lose time clarifying infeasibilities or output anomalies. 
  • Executives make decisions without full visibility into assumptions or constraints. 
  • Analysts get pulled into repetitive output explanations instead of high-value analysis. 

The result: rework, missed opportunities, and decreased confidence in modeling as a decision tool. 

That’s why Energy Exemplar built PLEXOS Intelligence.

 

PLEXOS Intelligence closes the gap between model run and decision time 

 

PLEXOS Intelligence is a new capability inside the PLEXOS platform that makes simulation output easier to access, understand, and act on—right where the work happens. 

You don’t need to export results or write formulas. Just ask: 

  • What’s driving price changes in this scenario?
  • What are the top congested lines this week?
  • Why is this model showing an infeasibility?
  • How do emissions compare between these two runs? 

The system understands your model structure and outputs—and responds in natural language, with traceable answers.  

You stay in your workflow, and decisions remain grounded in data. 

 

 

PLEXOS Intelligence is built for real users  

 

Benefits across the business:

For planners 
Quickly identify infeasibilities, test fixes, and rerun models with minimal delay. 

For traders 
Explore scenario outcomes and congestion drivers using market-native language. 

For executives 
Access summaries with direct links to logic, assumptions, and results. 

For analysts 
Shift from interpreter to problem-solver. Stop fielding repetitive questions and focus on value-add work. 

By making simulation output accessible across functions, PLEXOS Intelligence broadens the value of modeling work—and frees analysts up to focus on high-impact problem solving instead of interpretation and rework.

 

How it works—natively inside the platform 

 

PLEXOS Intelligence is built into the platform and is accessible across PLEXOS Cloud, desktop, and the Excel Add-in.  

PLEXOS Intelligence interprets simulation outputs in context, so the answers it provides are grounded in data, relevant, and actionable. Unlike generic AI tools, it uses specialized agents trained on PLEXOS model structures, outputs, and workflows.  

You can ask natural-language questions and get responses directly tied to model logic, output grids, or performance diagnostics.  

Because it runs natively within the platform, with full permission controls, teams get fast, trustworthy insight without exports, workarounds, or delays. 

 

 

Unlock more value from every model run 

 

PLEXOS has world-class modeling capabilities, and PLEXOS Intelligence accelerates time to modeling value by reducing bottlenecks, increasing clarity, and enabling faster, more strategic decisions across the enterprise. 

With tighter markets, regulatory shifts, and rising complexity, modeling is more important than ever. But to maximize its effectiveness, teams need to be able to act on results quickly.  

PLEXOS Intelligence removes the final barrier—delivering outcomes, not just output.
