With clients ranging from utilities and regulators to renewable developers and financial institutions, PLEXOS supports integrated system planning, grid optimization, market simulations, asset valuation, and more. It facilitates the adoption of clean energy alternatives, such as hydrogen and battery storage, while balancing economic and environmental priorities.
Energy Exemplar’s solutions have directly contributed to impactful outcomes like improved scenario modeling efficiency and progress toward renewable energy targets. Operating globally with offices across five continents, Energy Exemplar’s team is driven by the core values of Customer Success, Innovation Excellence, One Global Team, and Integrity.
Underpinned by the mission of “Empowering Transformative Energy Decisions,” Energy Exemplar is dedicated to supporting businesses and governments in achieving their goals, including sustainable, low-carbon energy transitions. Its objective is to enable stakeholders across the energy value chain to make evidence-based, data-driven decisions in alignment with their ESG principles and decarbonization goals.
Energy Exemplar’s PLEXOS platform is key to this, directly by enabling organizations to make faster, data-driven decisions critical for energy system optimization and decarbonization.
In today’s increasingly complex energy ecosystem, traditional methods of analysis are insufficient. PLEXOS bridges this gap by providing actionable insights through advanced modeling and simulation, enabling users to evaluate diverse variables — such as renewable integration, market fluctuations, and carbon reduction strategies — and identify optimal pathways.
Driving global decarbonization by equipping organizations with the tools to evaluate and implement sustainable energy strategies.
Promoting collaboration, training, and accessibility to accelerate the energy transition.
Continuing to innovate and expand our solutions to meet the evolving needs of the energy ecosystem.
Through these objectives, Energy Exemplar ensures stakeholders can navigate complexity with confidence, helping to build a more sustainable and equitable energy future.
Beyond efficiency gains, PLEXOS democratizes access to energy insights, previously available only to large organizations. This fosters innovation and inclusivity, enabling a diverse range of stakeholders to explore optimal solutions for their unique energy challenges.
From integrated system planning and market simulations to renewable integration and cross-sector optimization, PLEXOS has become a cornerstone for industries navigating decarbonization while balancing economic and environmental goals.
PLEXOS is a groundbreaking platform that transforms energy modeling by addressing the complexities of multi-sector systems on a single, integrated interface. It eliminates the inefficiencies of siloed analysis, allowing stakeholders to evaluate the intricate interdependencies of electricity, gas, water, and renewables with unparalleled clarity and speed.
What sets PLEXOS apart is its precision in addressing emerging energy challenges. For example, by simulating battery storage behavior — such as charge cycles, degradation, and renewable intermittency — it enables optimized planning that balances clean energy adoption with grid stability. This capability is essential for integrating intermittent renewable energy with baseload technologies, helping users achieve both cost savings and operational reliability.
PLEXOS employs advanced optimization techniques like mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) to solve complex problems at granular levels, from resource dispatch to grid optimization. Its ability to analyze both short-term operational decisions and long-term strategic planning makes it a versatile tool for energy professionals across the value chain.
Innovation within PLEXOS is also reflected in its scalability, enabling users to explore scenarios from local grids to nationwide systems. In Ireland, for example, it has become the standard for achieving ambitious renewable energy targets, while other regions rely on it for infrastructure planning and decarbonization strategies.
By pushing the boundaries of what energy modeling can achieve, PLEXOS empowers users to navigate the rapidly evolving energy landscape, fostering actionable solutions and driving progress toward a sustainable energy future.
