Stay a little longer and join the #Openmod Workshop on open energy modelling.
๐ 26 June
๐ University of Cape Town
A great opportunity to connect with researchers and practitioners working on energy transition planning. ๐งต

Openmod Workshop South Africa 2026 26 June 2026 โข Cape Town, South Africa Openmod comes to Africa Open Energy Transition and the Energy Systems Research Group from the University of Cape Town are delighted to announce the inaugural Openmod Workshop in Africa, to be held at the University of Cape Town on Friday, 26 June 2026. Open-source energy system modelling remains underrepresented across much of Africaโs energy planning landscape. Openmod helps address this gap as a community-driven move...
He also let me sneak in some plugs for open energy modelling #openmod #freethemodels and recent ideas looking at methanol as backstop for high electrification scenarios:

We've got a couple of community development grants in the works right now, and for both of them we'd like to build upon the existing (mostly European) #OpenMod community. It doesn't (yet) have a formal organization or governance structure, so we've made this forum post to gather feedback on our intention from the community:

Hi OpenModders, TLDR: Catalyst Cooperative would like to try and bring more North American folks into OpenMod over the next year or two, but we wanted to check in with the community about that first, and maybe get a letter of support/collaboration for one of our grant applications. We really enjoyed the conference at Stanford last fall, and we have a couple of projects we are working on that weโre hoping will help knit together the North American open energy data & modeling community a bit mor...
