LF Energy Summit Europe 2026
2026-09-15 - 2026-09-16 | Berlin
Grid operators have to deliver affordable, reliable, safe, clean energy, and they need digital infrastructure to do it. Across the sector, utilities and vendors are increasingly turning to open source as the proven way to co-develop the shared, non-competitive building blocks required to modernize the grid faster, at lower cost, and without dependence on single-vendor roadmaps.
LF Energy Summit Europe convenes utilities, grid operators, technology vendors, energy companies, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to showcase how open source is being used today to build production-grade digital infrastructure for energy systems. The event highlights recent project developments, emerging innovations, and practical lessons from organizations shipping real code, not just ideas.
Attendees will gain insight from leading experts and practitioners into best practices, tools, and technologies; learn how to participate in and scale open source communities; and connect directly with the peers and leaders who are developing the digital grid together.
Registration is now open! https://events.linuxfoundation.org/lfenergysummit-europe/register/
