New open modelling iniative to close gaps to PLEXOS & co. | join and contribute

[Max Parzen]

Hi everyone,

We just launched a task force to close gaps between #opensource PyPSA and proprietary solutions like PLEXOS. Feel free to join the effort! You can read more about it here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/open-energy-transition_pypsa-opensource-proprietary-activity-7407381856943353857-cdRg 

Generally useful for other openmod communities:

• we will share in 2026 a gap analysis that you could reuse (helped us a lot for the dev roadmap)
• we aim to demonstrate that every $ invested in freeing up tool maintainer time will have a significant impact on tool maturity and capability

Best wishes,

Max
