Maximilian Parzen
Maximilian Parzen serves as CEO of Open Energy Transition (OET), a non-profit dedicated to revolutionizing energy planning through transparency, accessibility, and collaboration. OET's mission centers on empowering better decision-making by harnessing the power of openness, addressing traditional "black-box" planning methods that hinder transparent policy decisions. OET provides energy system modelling, policy advisory, software development, open data platforms and capacity building services that enable cost-effective, evidence-based energy transitions for all.
Max has been at the forefront of advancing open-source energy modelling alongside a global community, helping tools such as PyPSA (Python for Power System Analysis) evolve from academic origins into operational-grade platforms. The platforms are now operationally deployed by major institutions including ENTSO-E for their Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) process, national transmission system operators, and international planning authorities across multiple continents and integrate electricity, heating, transport, industry, and hydrogen sectors into a comprehensive suite.
