Open energy models are critical infrastructure — and security matters.
The Openmod Tracker now integrates OpenSSF Scorecards, helping assess security risks across 220+ open energy system modelling tools. You can explore scores for maintenance, CI testing, licensing, and more directly in the dashboard.
When you can see the security holes, you can act on them.

Can open-source models support European TSO transmission planning?

Our latest Open-TYNDP release suggests yes: comparable outputs to proprietary tools, faster runtimes for CBA, and fully reproducible workflows.

New features include improved demand side response and load shedding, improved benchmarking, central data bucket, central carrier mapping, and faster CBA solving.

Are open-source solvers keeping up with proprietary tools on real energy models?
We're finding out on 28 May!

At “Benchmarking Optimization Solvers for Energy System Models: 2025 Results” you'll get performance comparisons between CBC, GLPK, HiGHS, SCIP and Gurobi — plus a panel on where open-source optimization is headed.

Free. Online. One hour.

What we found: Flattening the peak demand curve through energy efficient buildings optimizes all aspects of the energy system, including total energy costs, emissions, and the need for generation and transmission infrastructure.

The campaign light report was focused on two scenarios and a baseline, showing how the total electricity demand is 1825 TWh lower in the 2050 scenario with widespread renovation over business-as-usual: https://www.yourhomeourfuture.eu/ 🧵2/4

€312 billion could be saved every year in Europe by making buildings more energy-efficient and flexible, our open energy study showed. But which impact did the results have?

Over 10 months in 2023–2024, Open Energy Transition conducted a study for Eurima and the International Copper Association Europe, supported by the European Climate Foundation to look at how buildings can impact the energy system. 🧵1/4

Are you from a European TSOs (Electricity, Hydrogen, Gas) exploring open-source energy modelling with PyPSA and wondering where to start or who to ask? We are here to help.

Every first Monday of the month, we invite you for a free support session exclusively for TSOs and bring together peers and maintainers in a confidential setting. 🧵
