⚡ Map the world’s electricity grid! #MapYourGrid trains new & experienced mappers in #OpenStreetMap. Aim: Increase coverage from 70% to 98% 🎥 Intro video: youtu.be/6rcMVXc2lwc Join the mission, join a training 👉 mapyourgrid.org/map-it/ (training) & discord.gg/a5znpdFWfD

⚡ Collection of Global Electricity Demand Data! Since reliable, high-res electricity demand data is often scattered across sources or behind paywalls, we’ve made a centralized, #OpenSource collection. 👉 Got data to share? github.com/open-energy-tr… #OpenData #EnergyPlanning

"assuming no grid constraints" 😂

Heading to #ClimateWeekNYC (Sep 21–28)! Our co-founder and CEO, Maximilian Parzen, is excited to connect with you on #OpenSource , grid tools, expanding grid datasets & transforming global #EnergyPlanning. In NYC too? Let’s meet & spark ideas! ✨ Reach out to MaxParzen

Heavy duty trucking was the last bastion of hope for proponents of hydrogen mobility but the data is starting to trickle in and even in this segment the market is opting for batteries.

Open Energy Modelling Tool Tracker (beta) is live! 200+ open-source tools for transparent energy planning. Compare tools by popularity, activity & community. Filter by language, stars, downloads & more. 👉 openmod-tracker.org #OpenSource #EnergyPlanning #FreeTheModels

The #MapYourGrid team has done it again: a great new tutorial⚡ Learn how to map towers, lines, and substations in #OpenStreetMap using the iD editor! Help improve grid data to support better #EnergyPlanning. 🎥 Watch (9 min): youtu.be/gAPss8ZeVLs #OpenData #EnergyTransition

Is Latin America ready to add innovative #OpenSource tools to its energy planning practice? 🌎⚡ Our CEO and LATEM team joined OLADE’s Energy Week in Santiago - there was indeed interest in OSS for grid planning. If you are in Latin America, let's collaborate! #EnergyTransition

One man to rule them all

Our Head of Research & Market Development, Harry van der Weijde, will be speaking in a session on open energy modeling at #INFORMS2025 in Atlanta next week! Find the session at MC29 - Open Energy Modeling, October 27, at 1:15pm. Will you be there? Reach out to Harry on email ⚡

🌍 We’re celebrating 10 years of #YouthMappers! Leading up to Nov 17, we’re launching 3 mapping campaigns, and we’re kicking off with #PowerTheFuture, in partnership with OpenEnergyTransition! 🔗 Learn More: youthmappers.org/youthmappersat… #YouthPower #YouthMappers10 #MapYourGrid

Open-TYNDP v0.3 is out! Together with ENTSO-E, we’re building a complementary, #OpenSource workflow to Europe’s TYNDP — integrating Scenario Building & market simulation part of Cost-Benefit Analysis in one model. 💡See updates: open-tyndp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rele… & github.com/open-energy-tr…

More Coverage, New Partners, and Upcoming Talks by #MapYourGrid! Join us at State of the Map Europe & Africa. We'll talk about mapping electricity grid in #OpenStreetMap to support data-driven #EnergyPlanning. mapyourgrid.org #OpenSource #OpenData #EnergyTransition
