National Institution for Transforming India to Launch Interactive Energy Planning Tool

An interactive energy planning tool has been developed by the NITI (National Institution for Transforming India) Aayog, which aims to explore a range of potential energy scenarios for India 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 Aayog said in a statement.

Butterfly-Inspired Solar Panels Could Help Make Solar Energy Cheaper
The optimal angle by which the butterfly should hold its wings to increase temperature was 17 degrees. This increased the temperature by 7.3 degrees.

The tool - India Energy Security Scenarios (IESS) - will be launched in New Delhi at industry chamber FICCI on August 27 by Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar and Niti Aayog vice-chairman Arvind Panagariya, the statement said.

"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," it added.
