Lightning Talk: Transforming the Energy Sector Through Open Source Procurement
summary
Argues that European public procurement should require mandatory OSS capitalization so utilities buy services not code, shifting vendor revenue to SLAs, support and integration. Gives concrete levers: specify open source licenses in tenders, use competitive dialogue and proof-of-concept phase to demonstrate composed solutions built from Antares and other LF Energy blocks, apply differentiated pricing when IP is contributed back, and cites RTE/RTI experience plus LF Energy use cases showing reuse, lower cost and longer software lifecycles.
