LF Energy Summit Europe 2026

Welcome to the official in-person meetup for the Edge Interoperability and Flexibility Special Interest Group (SIG), held in conjunction with the LF Energy Summit!
As the energy grid becomes increasingly decentralized, managing the grid edge is more critical than ever. This SIG focuses on establishing open-source standards, architectures, and software to seamlessly integrate Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)—like solar inverters, batteries, and smart home systems—into the wider energy ecosystem.

What to expect:

• Networking: Connect with fellow developers, grid operators, and energy transition advocates.
• Collaboration: Discuss current interoperability challenges, share insights on grid flexibility, and brainstorm solutions.
• Onboarding: Learn how you can actively contribute to the SIG's goals and ongoing projects.

Whether you are a core maintainer, an industry stakeholder, or a newcomer passionate about the open-source energy transition, we would love to see you there!

Note: Food and beverages will not be provided for this meetup

Join the OpenSTEF Workshop for a deep-dive into OpenSTEF and an opportunity to shape the future of open source intelligent forecasting for the energy sector.

What to expect
This will be an interactive, in-person workshop created by the OpenSTEF community. The agenda and content will be shaped collaboratively through our OpenSTEF community meetings and shared at a later stage. If you have ideas, topics you'd like to explore, or suggestions for the program, we encourage you to join the community meetings and help shape the workshop. To stay involved and participate in the community meetings, please send a mail to: [email protected].

Who should attend?
Current users of OpenSTEF who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of its features and capabilities.

About OpenSTEF
OpenSTEF is an open-source Python package that uses automated machine learning workflows to deliver accurate and explainable probabilistic short-term energy forecasts for grid load, typically from hours to days ahead.
