CapEx, OpEx, and Open Source - Michael Dorner & Maximilian Capraro, Capraro Dorner PartG

Tuesday September 15, 2026 15:20 - 15:50 CEST

Crossover

Regulatory frameworks in the energy sector often favor capital expenditures (CapEx) over operational expenses (OpEx), creating a structural disincentive for TSOs and DSOs to develop and publish open-source software. In this talk, we unpack the root causes of this bias and present preliminary findings from our Linux Foundation–funded research. Finally, we outline pathways to realign incentives and enable broader adoption of open source for energy infrastructure.
