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.
