As global energy systems undergo rapid transformation, organizations face mounting pressure to plan, operate, and invest with greater speed, transparency, and adaptability.
This blog explores how the PLEXOS® platform integrates long-term planning, operational strategy, and real-time decision support into a single environment. Discover how this unified platform helps energy stakeholders simulate complex systems, optimize decisions, and act with greater clarity and confidence.
Unify energy planning, operations, and insight with confidence
The PLEXOS® platform by Energy Exemplar delivers a unified modeling and decision environment designed to support the full energy value chain. In today’s rapidly evolving energy system, marked by decarbonization goals, changing market structures, and increasing uncertainty, PLEXOS® enables organizations to move with clarity, speed, and data-backed conviction.
The platform integrates long-term planning, operational strategy, and real-time decision support within a single, cloud-delivered framework. Whether your focus is capacity expansion, market analysis, or dispatch optimization, PLEXOS® aligns teams and models through a trusted simulation engine, shared data environment, and built-in AI intelligence.
A platform built for transformation
The PLEXOS® platform combines three core layers:
PLEXOS® engine – A proven simulation engine used globally across electricity, gas, water, hydrogen, and storage modeling. Known for its transparency, traceability, and flexibility, the engine supports multi-commodity modeling across all time horizons.
PLEXOS® Cloud – An enterprise-grade SaaS environment hosted on Microsoft Azure. Provides scalable compute, centralized collaboration, governance, and role-based access for teams working across markets and geographies.
PLEXOS® Intelligence – Embedded AI assistants that improve accessibility, diagnostics, and stakeholder communication. These tools help interpret outputs, identify root causes, and summarize findings in plain language.
Together, these layers form a cohesive environment that replaces fragmented tools and workflows. Every scenario and dataset flows through a consistent interface, reducing redundancy and improving accuracy across the organization.
The PLEXOS® engine enables:
Teams gain flexibility and confidence with:
PLEXOS® Cloud brings the power of the engine to a secure, web-accessible workspace. Teams can:
PLEXOS® Intelligence enhances the platform with solutions designed to:
Trusted data, ready to run
Simulation Ready Datasets provide:
These datasets reduce time-to-model and improve study defensibility.
In addition to the core platform, Energy Exemplar offers optional add-ons designed to accelerate results and reduce modeling overhead:
These solutions are designed to help teams move faster, improve transparency, and focus more on strategic analysis, without needing to build everything from scratch.
With PLEXOS®, energy teams replace fragmented tools with one shared environment, helping them model faster, align decisions across departments, and respond to change with agility. Organizations using the platform report reduced modeling turnaround time, improved stakeholder alignment, and greater confidence in regulatory submissions. Whether you’re forecasting prices, planning investments, or stress-testing policy, PLEXOS® delivers consistent results you can stand behind.
