CEO of Open Energy Transition aka. OET. Accelerating the energy transition by building open-source software and open data solutions 🔥
The electrical grid is beautiful. We built grid2poster: an open-source tool to turn @openstreetmap.bsky.social grid data into customizable posters and SVGs for any region. Explore + create your own: open-energy-transition.github.io/grid2poster/ #opengrid #opensource #mapyourgrid #openstreetmap
A NEW TWIST in Africa's soaring solar story: It's now manufacturing its own panels. The factories use imported Chinese cells, which are 40% of the value of panels, keeping much of the value domestically. 9 GW of cells+wafers in Mar/Apr alone🧵
Can Europe modernise grid planning with transparent, reproducible tools? Our latest Open-TYNDP release shows open-source models can support TSO-level transmission planning with comparable results and more transparency for policy and investment decisions: open-tyndp.openenerg... #PyPSA #OpenModelling

🔧 ENTSO-E collaborates on open-source tools for energy planning 🔍 ENTSO-E’s TYNDP and adequacy studies rely on a comprehensive suite of modelling tools used by TSO experts. To enhance transparency, reproducibility, and accessibility, we are working on fit-for-purpose open-source tools that complement our existing planning data and methodologies. 🚀 In collaboration with Open Energy Transition , we have launched a research and innovation project to develop a complementary open-source tool in PyPSA for Scenario Building and Cost-Benefit Analysis within the TYNDP process. A first workshop on 16 January brought together TSO and OET experts to explore how PyPSA can be integrated into the modelling suite. #EnergyTransition #OpenSource #Innovation #TYNDP
