Thank you very much for posting and sharing this great article. It is so interesting. I want to know some other information about this site. So please give me this news quickly. I always will be aware of you.

I thought I'd comment that there is an "organically grown" page of energy resources for hackathons.  This includes APIs, datasets, linked open data endpoints and other resources.  Check it out at:

http://en.openei.org/wiki/Help:Energy_Hackathon_Resources

(You'll need an OpenEI account to add/edit it)

Also, OpenEI has browsable apps at http://en.openei.org/apps/.  Combined with energy.data.gov's apps section at
http://www.data.gov/communities/node/48/tools-apps, that's over one hundred unique energy apps!

In another post, I discussed the potential for apps to be built on OpenEI's utility rate data.  This is already good-quality data, but with a DOE contract to grow and maintain this database, it is being prepared for prime-time!  Check out the OpenEI Utilities Gateway and the OpenEI services page to see how to integrate with this data in a RESTful (this is developer-speak) way.

OpenEI will have an apps tab up soon with some highly-visual ways to dive into energy data.

To get you started, check out the Challenges and Apps tabs here on the Energy.Data.gov site.  What other great applications or opportunities exist to connect with other energy innovators?
