Open Source Holds The Key To The Future Of Energy Sector
summary
Recounts turning internal R&D into working open source: a European network-simulation and security-analysis stack released into LF Energy and now running in production across 15 TSOs and several regional coordination centers, plus an operator fabric for routing operational data to the right person. Describes the practical steps — a Linux Foundation study tour, license/compliance checks, community governance — and company changes like hiring 100 developers in five years to build upstream code that’s been adopted and maintained commercially.
