NITI Aayog to launch interactive energy platform on Aug 27

NITI Aayog today said it will launch on Thursday an interactive energy planning tool called "India Energy Security Scenarios (IESS) 2047" -- which is aimed at exploring possible energy prospects for the country.
"NITI Aayog has developed an energy scenario building tool - India Energy Security Scenarios (IESS) 2047. The tool aims to explore a range of potential future energy scenarios for India, for diverse energy demand and supply sectors leading up to 2047," the policy-making body said in a press release.
The tool will explore India's possible energy supply sources such as solar, wind, bio-fuels, oil, gas, coal and nuclear for the sectors like 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.
The tool will be launched by NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Arvind Panagariya and Minister of State for Environment and Forests Prakash Javadekar on August 27.
