About the Open Energy Platform Database

The Open Energy Platform offers a rich collection of energy-related datasets, organized by topic to support modeling, analysis, and research. Each dataset includes structured data and metadata with tags, descriptions, and quality indicators. We develop tools to help users explore, visualize, and analyze data, using linked data and semantic web standards to ensure interoperability and reuse. Our REST API enables flexible, automated data access and contribution without a fixed data model. While technical knowledge is often needed, we're working to make the platform more user-friendly—especially for tasks like comparing scenario input/output datasets.
