DESCRIPTION:The UK is undertaking energy planning at a scale and pace never
  seen before\, yet the models underpinning these decisions are often propr
 ietary\, opaque\, and inaccessible to scrutiny. As the energy transition a
 ccelerates\, the case for open\, transparent\, and reproducible modelling 
 has never been stronger. Open-source tools offer the research\, industry\,
  and policy communities the ability to interrogate assumptions\, reproduce
  results\, and build collaboratively on shared foundations.\n\nPyPSA-GB is
  an open-source energy system optimisation model of Great Britain. This ta
 lk presents the model's capabilities\, recent applications\, and ongoing d
 evelopment. PyPSA-GB now incorporates a high-resolution 2000+ bus network 
 representation of the GB transmission system\, demand-side flexibility opt
 ions\, and market modelling of both the wholesale electricity market and b
 alancing mechanism. The model supports both historical and future scenario
  analysis\, making it a versatile tool for a range of research and policy 
 questions. This talk reflects on what PyPSA-GB can offer for real-world en
 ergy planning in the UK\, and why open\, shared modelling frameworks like 
 it are essential for the community going forward.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr Andrew
