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.

NEW CASE STUDY

Five months to 10× faster grid security. Here's how TenneT did it.

TenneT cut grid security calculations from minutes to seconds, with no proprietary licensing. Five months, one open source project.
