THE LINUX FOUNDATION PROJECTS

Develop the digital grid, together.

Modern energy systems must be affordable, reliable, safe, and clean. Digital optimization is essential, but building that infrastructure alone is slow, expensive, and creates supply chain dependencies. LF Energy provides a trusted, neutral home where utilities and technology vendors co-develop the shared software building blocks everyone needs.

Why LF Energy

LF Energy enables shared investment in foundational building blocks through neutral governance and a community that ships working code.
