#2And where did they put it? On the biggest US platform.
Someday we'll get there, someday.

it's juste a model from Technical University of Munich not an official model from ENTSOE for TYNDP

It is actually an model that has been developed in collaboration with entso-e by Open Energy Transition. You can read more about it here: https://open-tyndp.openenergytransition.org/

People who are interested can look at it and use it. People who aren't interested are free to ignore it.
What's the downside of open-sourcing this?
We should commend bureaucracies on the rare instance that they open-source their software, not ridicule them for it.

The EU is demanding that the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) implement this ten-year power infrastructure plan transparently. Unfortunately, this modelling has so far been carried out using an expensive, proprietary tool (PLEXOS Energy Exemplar). The results were not easily reproducible. However, with the new model based on PyPSA-Eur, a transparent Ten-Year Network Development Plan can be created.

This is a repo build using the PyPSA python framework. PyPSA is an open-source Python framework for optimizing modern power systems with renewable energy, storage, and multi-sector coupling.
The repo linked “seeks to complement the tools currently used in the TYNDP cycles, especially for Scenario Building (SB) and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). This approach is designed to enhance transparency and lower barriers to stakeholder participation in European energy planning. Beyond Europe, the project aspires to demonstrate the viability of open-source (OS) frameworks in energy planning, encouraging broader global adoption.
To build trust in and ensure reproducibility with the new open-source toolchain, the project first focuses on replicating key figures from the 2024 TYNDP cycle, before aligning with the current 2026 TYNDP cycle. This process involves developing new features within the open-source domain to address existing gaps, integrating tools for data interoperability and dynamic visualizations, and publishing best practices to encourage the adoption of open energy models.”
Why this report is shared appears to be an application of PyPSA for others to reference and become inspired by its implementation.
Why it’s open source I think is clear from the above paragraph. Open source standards make it drastically easier to harmonise and collaborate while allowing as much engagement as possible to scrutinise the framework.

It’s an honest question, perhaps not worded friendly enough. Forgive my English.
Let’s zoom in on your reply, the people who are interested and look at it and use it. What will they be able to do with it?
