New: Manta - open-source GUI for your favorite OS energy modelling framework

[Max Parzen]

Hi everyone,

We’ve just announced Manta, an open-source project under development which provides a GUI and application for end-to-end energy system analysis that works across modelling frameworks. Our unique goal is to build a better, open-source alternative to PLEXOS-like tools by drawing on the collective strengths of the open energy planning ecosystem. 

I’ve attached our launch slides from the 2026 Freiburg openmod workshop, including the roadmap and ways to get involved. If you support the initiative, please comment on, like or share our announcement post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/open-energy-transition_opensource-manta-energyplanning-activity-7510625029278113792-mdzB

Let's make open energy planning tools mainstream!

Best wishes,

Max
