the public benefit of open grid data

[Tom Brown]

Dear open-minded modelling folks,

I've been getting a lot of questions in the last few months about
security aspects around open grid data (following the Berlin blackout
and the EU's Grids Package), which often misunderstand the actual
security threat and don't see the huge public benefit.

So I've put together the arguments in a CC-BY blog post:

https://nworbmot.org/blog/open-grid-data.html

There's an FAQ at the end which I can extend over time if you have more
examples, more questions, or other feedback.

Thanks!

Best,

Tom
