It aims to explore a range of potential future energy scenarios for India, for diverse energy demand and supply sectors leading up to 2047.

It explores India’s possible energy scenarios across energy supply sectors such as solar, wind, bio fuels, oil, gas, coal and nuclear and energy demand sectors such as transport, industry, agriculture, cooking and lighting appliances. The model allows users to interactively make energy choices and explore a range of outcomes for the country-from carbon dioxide emissions and import dependence to land use.

NITI Aayog vice-chairman Arvind Panagariya said the IESS 2047 calculator has already been playing an instrumental role in shaping India’s energy policy. With the launch of the second version, one can look forward to a more comprehensive policy discourse on India’s future energy planning by policy makers, academicians, private sector and other stakeholders.

It will support the Government’s vision of achieving power for all and 175 GW of renewables by 2022, rural electrification and reducing import dependency.

The purpose of the IESS tool is to engage various stakeholders in the country’s energy planning and facilitate informed debates at different levels.
