Building OSPOs in Practice...
summary
Three grid operators describe building OSPOs from scratch, reporting mostly stage 0–1 maturity work: Cresym runs a recurring OSPA assessment with project teams every three months and annual researcher showcases; 50Hertz/Elia negotiates license compliance with legal and finds finance hardest to onboard; TenneT restarts efforts begun in 2019 and points to regulatory incentives (Marbis, tech sovereignty) as a lever. They discover ~100,000 packages inside orgs, adopt guidance-first governance, and show small open‑source releases and license controls that actually work.
