Open Energy Transition
@oetenergy.bsky.social
A non-profit software company aiming for fast and reliable energy transition globally.

We empower energy planners and decision-makers with energy transition studies, flexible open-source platforms, and expert training and support.
Why use OSS in your energy planning? Open modeling is great for creating high-quality policy designs, supporting strategic goals, and accelerating the energy transition.

👉 Try the Open Energy Modelling Tool Tracker openmod-tracker.org or contact us on how open-source can support your next project.
