LF Energy is an open source initiative led by the Linux Foundation that focuses on developing and enabling collaborative software projects for the energy sector. As a neutral platform, it brings together companies, utilities, government bodies, universities, and other stakeholders worldwide to jointly build and maintain the digital foundations of the future electrical grid. The organization emphasizes digitalization as a driver of electrification, electric mobility, renewable energy integration, and greater efficiency in electricity use. Based in San Francisco, California, it operates within the software development landscape, organizing and sustaining open source work rather than delivering proprietary products. Its target audience includes technology providers, utilities, public agencies, and research institutions seeking shared, non-differentiating software foundations to support the evolving electricity system. In March 2026, LF Energy announced the release of a standardized battery dataset to its Battery Data Alliance, contributed by Microsoft's Surface Battery Development team.
