Method and system for conducting low-power design explorations are disclosed. The method includes receiving an RTL netlist of a circuit design, creating one or more power requirement files, wherein each power requirement file comprises power commands corresponding to the RTL netlist, generating one or more low-power RTL netlists using the corresponding one or more power requirement files and the RTL netlist, and conducting low-power design explorations using the one or more low-power RTL netlists.
