About

The PyPSA project is maintained and developed by us, a group of researchers from different institutes and research fields.
Our vision is to provide a free, user-friendly and performant model environment to support a smooth energy transition around the world. The packages enable to go all the way from calculating renewable energy potentials to creating complex electricity networks and cost-optimizing the pathway of a whole energy system. All packages are build in a modular sense so that they may be used independently from each other but interact easily.

We are very happy about and constructive feedback and contributions to the Git-repositories!
