And where did they put it? On the biggest US platform.

Nice. Better energy grid seems like an easy win for Europe. It has enough diversity of sources that just connecting it cleverly can get you crazy efficiency.
e.g. Right now the UK grid is running on just over 80%+ renewable. But when the wind isn't cooperating french nuclear helps.
Broad reliance on renewables just doesn't work without interconnects across large geo regions

Cringe. China and Russia are building energy infrastructure and here we have Europe open sourcing tools to help cope with its self-inflicted bureaucratic burdens instead.
Yay, sustainability!

Educate me, what’s the point of (open-sourcing) this?

What a great present for Russians planning their drone attacks on Europe. Why not open source military bases and personal development too? It's all theoretically could be found in public sources anyway, so why not help Ivan save some time and put it all together. As a EU citizen, I should be able to freely receive access to public infrastructure data by request, but it should not be put online for everyone to see.
