Dear LEAP community,
In the wake of our dear colleague Taylor Binnington's tragic death last month, many of you have asked if there's a way to support his family. With this in mind, SEI has started a GoFundMe fundraiser for Taylor's family. All contributions are welcome and will go directly to Taylor's wife and surviving son.
Thank you!
New version of LEAP available (2024.2.0.4) 6 Likes
By Charlie Heaps on 4/8/2025A new version of LEAP is now available for download. LEAP 2024.2.0.4 now supports limited foresight optimization, a technique for simulating planning under incomplete knowledge of future events. Previously, LEAP only supported perfect foresight optimization. The new version allows you to easily create and compare multiple scenarios, each of which can simulate different degrees of foresight. Limited foresight optimization requires use of NEMO v2.2 or later (recently released). See this page for more information on how to use limited and perfect foresight optimization in LEAP and NEMO. The new version of LEAP also includes minor bug fixes and an improved help system.

By Charlie Heaps on 3/13/2025It is with the utmost sadness that we report that our cherished colleague Taylor Binnington was tragically killed in a road accident this past weekend, which also took the life of his young son.
Many of you will have had the pleasure of working with and getting support from Taylor either in person or online. Taylor was a brilliant, kind, funny, and generous young man who cared deeply about our mission to build capacity around the world for sustainable energy planning.
