Success Stories

The following are examples of active OpenEI users, organizations that rely heavily upon OpenEI data, or groups who have in some other way played a key role in the success of OpenEI:

reegle

reegle Country Profiles are currently pulling renewable resource maps, tools and programs from OpenEI country pages. Additionally, hundreds of definitions from the Openei Glossary have been shared with the reegle Thesaurus.

REEEP

For OpenEI, cooperation with REEEP (the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership, and organization behind reegle) means seamless access to important information, less duplication of effort, opportunities for joint ventures, collaboration on cutting-edge development projects, and a partnership that has already resulted in a measured increase in both funding opportunities and the number of visitors to our mutual sites.

Green Button

OpenEI is the recognized go-to site for Green Button Apps. The catalog contains apps from contests like the Apps for Energy Challenge as well as apps submitted directly to OpenEI by developers and organizations. OpenEI has also helped with the promotion of the Green Button initiative by providing content such as the participation map to the White House.

Community

OpenEI contains numerous energy related datasets and details, but sometimes users have questions about using these data. OpenEI's Community pages are a place where users can search for answers and post questions that have not yet been answered. One great example of user engagement was assisting an international user with one of the international datasets hosted on OpenEI for their thesis/dissertation. The user had questions regarding the data format and the best way to work with it. The Community format allowed an OpenEI administrator to provide a detailed answer in a timely fashion for the user.
