Grids of the world. Create your own grid posters with github.com/open-energy-...

The electrical grid is beautiful. We built grid2poster: an open-source tool to turn @openstreetmap.bsky.social grid data into customizable posters and SVGs for any region. Explore + create your own: open-energy-transition.github.io/grid2poster/ #opengrid #opensource #mapyourgrid #openstreetmap

A NEW TWIST in Africa's soaring solar story: It's now manufacturing its own panels. The factories use imported Chinese cells, which are 40% of the value of panels, keeping much of the value domestically. 9 GW of cells+wafers in Mar/Apr alone🧵

Can Europe modernise grid planning with transparent, reproducible tools? Our latest Open-TYNDP release shows open-source models can support TSO-level transmission planning with comparable results and more transparency for policy and investment decisions: open-tyndp.openenerg... #PyPSA #OpenModelling
