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

If you want similar capabilities, get in touch with me/ @oetenergy.bsky.social We’re also planning to developing public examples for modeling CfDs, PPAs, penalties, subsidies, and more to **accelerate** adoption! Let me know if you have any other wishes for OS energy planning tools 🛠️

Why it works: 🔺The user could customize the model to match every PPA detail 🔺Spreadsheet integration lets analysts quickly adjust inputs before optimising 🔺Open source is AI-ready - no unnecessary layer between the tool and your LLM

🚀 Open-source tools are becoming a powerful advantage for energy project developers. An Indian 🇮🇳 developer recently used #PyPSA to design 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) power purchase agreements (PPAs) for renewable and storage projects and is super happy!

The demand data is actually feeding the ML demand cast app: github.com/open-energy-... so people can get open electricity demand predictions for any part around, for any region, climatic year. In general the more data, the better 🙌🏼 so please get in touch with our team to add this eventually.

🚀 New Open-Source Project in European Energy Planning! We're collaborating with ENTSO-E for an innovation project in the TYNDP process resulting in an open-source PyPSA-based toolbox for Scenario Building & Cost-Benefit Analysis. 🌍⚡ 🔗 ENTSO-E’s announcement: www.linkedin.com/pos...

🔧 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

Yes, the GUI is one element that should be addressed but there are many other moving puzzle pieces that should be in place for seriously challenging existing solutions. Discussed a plan with @jessedjenkins.com few months ago

Yep, that’s correct. We will probably tackle scenario building and the CBA process of the TYNDP. Can eventually tell more details in January. I like the no risk strategy of doing both for the TYNDP like doing, PLEXOS and open source tools until there is 100% confidence in #opensource.
