The electrification of society involves increasing needs and major investments in energy infrastructure. The expansion and reinforcement of electricity networks requires extensive analysis of geographical conditions.
Geodata and GIS are therefore used in many parts of energy network planning.
Spatial data is used in several stages of energy infrastructure planning.

Electricity network planning
When building new power lines or networks, energy companies need to analyze several factors.
For example:
Geographical analysis allows organizations to identify suitable routes for power lines.
Spatial data is used in several stages of energy infrastructure planning.

Property information in grid planning
Property data is used to identify:
This information is important in the dialog with landowners and in permit processes.
Analysis of grid expansion
Geodata has become a key element in the planning, development and operation of energy infrastructure. GIS analysis makes it possible to:
Geographical analysis is a key element in network planning.

By visualizing analyses in maps, organizations can create better decision support in planning processes.
Geospatial data has moved from being a support function to becoming a strategic resource in the energy sector.
Geographical analysis is a central part of grid planning.

Electricity network planning is about making complex decisions about investments, location and capacity. Geodata makes it possible to analyze land conditions, properties, environmental restrictions and climate impacts in context.
By using spatial analysis, energy companies can
An energy company can use geodata to:
The result is a more efficient planning process and better decision-making.
