Open-source energy models are becoming increasingly important for transparent and reproducible energy planning. At the same time, many institutions still rely on proprietary software for day-to-day planning and decision-making. Closing this gap requires more than open code. Open-source tools also need the functionality, reliability, and long-term support expected by industry users.
This session presents the PyPSA-Taskforce, a joint initiative by Technische Universität Berlin, Università di Pisa, and Open Energy Transition to strengthen PyPSA as a professional open-source tool for energy system planning. The Taskforce focuses on improving areas of PyPSA that are still missing or not yet mature enough for wider industry adoption.
The project focuses on developing and integrating capabilities needed for real-world planning applications while maintaining the transparency and flexibility that make open-source tools valuable. At the same time, it aims to move beyond the limitations of proprietary software by building a tool that can evolve openly with the needs of the energy transition.
