IESS 2047

• NITI Aayog launched the second version of the India Energy Security Scenarios 2047 calculator (IESS 2047), an open source web-based tool.
• 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.
• It explores India’s possible energy scenarios across energy supply sectors such as solar, wind, biofuels, 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.
• The purpose of the IESS tool is to engage various stakeholders in the country’s energy planning and facilitate informed debates at different levels.
• This tool will enable policymakers and parliamentarians make a more secure and sustainable energy future for India.
• The tool allows the user develop a secure future pathway and suggest current policy interventions for the same.
• The tool has been developed in consultation with multiple stakeholders, such as think tanks, industry bodies, and research organizations.
• The UK Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is the initial partner with NITI Aayog in this project
