Dear All:

The recent annual OpenMod meeting was held at KTH. Just wanted to flag that either side of that were two other Open-Source Energy Modelling Love-Fests that involved many from this amazing community.
🎉 🎈 We are celebrating the EMP-LAC that is currently taking place at Universidad Nacional de La Matanza in partnership with Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora and the British Embassy in Buenos Aires. See who you recognise in the photos from the CLEWs Climate-, Land-, Energy-, Water-systems OnSSET - Open Source Spatial Electrification Tool MARIO - Multifunctional Analysis of Regions through Input-Output and OSeMOSYS tracks. Thanks to OpTIMUS Open Tools Integrated Modelling and Upskilling for Sustainable Development partners for their ongoing support and to everyone who has helped to make this a reality. 💚 Dan Parsons Judy Billington Alfie Alsop GWNET: Global Women's Network for the Energy Transition

And currently underway the EMP-Africa in Addis. Pictures below and a really nice testimonial featuring WRI's Energy Access Explorer from the Nigerian Energy commission (SR) link: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/thomas-ageebee-ab948217a_ccg-wri-acpc-activity-7323457745171415040-xEZT?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAASDIv4BgUGYGhvqM-pRRxiCH0d1YgX_z58

The EMP tracks are also freely available as online courses, you can use the material (cc 3) in your teaching as useful / helpful. From the political economy of the energy system to agent-based modelling thereof: https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/index.php?categoryid=2084


OnSSET/The Global Electrification Platform. In this course, participants will learn about geospatial energy modelling in the tools Open Source Spatial Electrification Tool (OnSSET) and World Bank’s Global Electrification Platform.

Happy open-source energy-modelling. 

Best, Mark
