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. Learn more about
using the database in our
Academy.
