SUMMARY:2026 Open Source in Energy Access Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Open Source in Energy Access Symposium (OSEAS) is the first
  global event dedicated to harnessing Open Source technologies to accelera
 te universal energy access. Co-organized by EnAccess and WRI Polsky Center
  for the Global Energy Transition\, OSEAS has quickly become a flagship gl
 obal gathering for open innovation in the energy sector.\n\nThe first edit
 ion took place in 2024 in Abuja\, Nigeria\, marking a groundbreaking momen
 t in uniting global stakeholders.\n\nThe second edition\, hosted in 2025 i
 n Nairobi\, Kenya\, which drew even greater momentum.\n\nDue to overwhelmi

 pace\n\n- Product fair\n\n- A donor roundtable\n\n- An improved hackathon 
 experience\n\n- Site visit\n\nOpen Source technology and tools have been t
 ransforming the Energy Access landscape - enhancing interoperability\, boo
 sting cost efficiency\, and ensuring high quality. However\, it’s only r
 ecently that their full potential has started to shine through. By acceler
 ating collaboration and dialogue\, OSEAS 2026 aims to push us closer to un
 iversal energy access.
