Common Issues#

Name exclusivity#

When defining components, ensure that each component has a unique name irrespective of component type. For example, you cannot have a Resource and Process both named “solar”.

The following will raise an error:

from energia import Model, Resource, Process

m = Model()

m.solar = Resource()
m.solar = Process()  # This will raise an error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
ValueError: solar already defined

Wrong Python Version#

Energia 2.0.0+ requires Python 3.12 or higher. If you are using an older version of Python, and older version of Energia (1.0.7) will be installed instead. The two are not backward compatible, and you will likely run into errors.

To check your Python version, run:

$ python --version
Python 3.12.0

To check your Energia version, run:

import energia
print(energia.__version__)

2.1.6

Older versions use energiapy as the package name.
