Understanding the Vision Behind ACPET REBOOST

ACPET REBOOST (ACPET Research on Energy Futures for Building Ongoing Operational Systems and Techniques) is a flagship initiative of the ACPET Energy Futures Lab at the Ashoka Centre for a People-centric Energy Transition (ACPET).

It acts as a dedicated International and National Modelling Hub of Global South, created to accelerate innovation in modelling systems, AI-driven analytics, collaborative knowledge building, and future-ready policy design.

By integrating energy, economy, climate, society, and technology, ACPET REBOOST provides the foundation for a next-generation modelling ecosystem– transparent, collaborative, and built for the fast-evolving energy transition.

What the ACPET REBOOST Platform & Chatbot Offer

People-Centric Energy Policy Insights

Understand India’s energy transition through a holistic lens, covering economic, ecological, cultural, and societal dimensions.

The chatbot simplifies complex modelling outputs into clear, actionable insights for policymakers, researchers, and decision-makers.
