Each month, we highlight the latest enhancements across the PLEXOS® platform to help you model faster, plan smarter, and collaborate more effectively. In the October 2025 update, you’ll find new features in PLEXOS® 11.0 R05, expanded PLEXOS® Cloud workflows, and new PLEXOS® Playbooks and datasets to help you get started faster and deliver clearer results.
In this What's New:
The latest version of PLEXOS® 11.0 R05 is now available to download from the customer portal or access directly in PLEXOS Cloud.
This release includes several important updates to improve modeling accuracy, flexibility, and performance across key workflows:
Several enhancements in this release were inspired by feedback and ideas submitted through Xchange, a place for users to share ideas, ask questions, and exchange insights about using PLEXOS and other products. Thank you to everyone who contributed.
Full details on what’s changed from PLEXOS 11.0 R04 are listed in the revision notes, available in the Customer Portal.
PLEXOS Intelligence continues to expand its capabilities to help users identify issues faster and extract insights more easily. You can now view study version changes at a glance and detect infeasibilities earlier in the modeling process, reducing time spent on manual troubleshooting and allowing you to focus on scenario analysis.
The new smart query builder offers two flexible ways to interact with your data: use natural language for fast results or write in SQL for full control and precision. Both options support dashboard creation and output analysis without requiring advanced coding.
You can:
These features support real-time insight generation and faster decision-making across your planning workflows.
This release delivers a wide range of improvements to the PLEXOS Cloud platform, supporting better collaboration, faster analysis, and more flexibility across simulation workflows. Whether you're building dashboards, managing datasets, or coordinating study versions across teams, these updates are designed to streamline your experience from end to end.
These features support more efficient analysis and communication of results.
These updates give you more control over how and when simulations run, reducing wait times for results.
This update helps you keep Excel workflows connected to PLEXOS without manual workarounds.
This makes collaboration easier by keeping all your study history and assets in one place.
PLEXOS Playbooks give analysts, traders, and planners a complete, simulation-ready modeling package, featuring curated datasets, prebuilt scenarios, simple editing features, interactive dashboards, automated workflows, and embedded PLEXOS Intelligence for AI-enhanced assistance.
This PLEXOS Playbook enables users to easily and effortlessly optimize the configuration of renewable energy portfolios to meet the obligations of Round-the-Clock (RTC) renewable energy contracts in the India energy market. Users can easily configure the options, costs and properties for the generation and storage, and define the demand obligations and other conditions of the RTC contract. Optimized portfolios are summarized in easy-to-read asset, operational and financial reports and charts.
Developed to work with AEMO’s public Integrated System Plan (ISP) datasets, PLEXOS Playbook for AEMO ISP provides out-of-the-box visualization and reporting capabilities. PLEXOS Playbook for AEMO ISP provides a quick and easy way for modelers to get started using the AEMO ISP 2024 datasets. The consolidated model conveniently combines all three PLEXOS models for each climate scenario into a single study, allowing for easy comparisons. A companion Excel workbook provides pre-made visualizations that recreate key charts from the ISP report.
You can now start projects with validated datasets that are ready to run. Each package includes models, templates, dashboards, and QA tools.
Customers can now access these datasets on the customer portal.
These datasets help you reduce onboarding time and focus on analysis rather than setup.
