Renewable Energy

Produce clean, smart energy with GIS

The long-term need for cleaner energy is evident. Climate change isn't going away. Distributed and renewable power sources, such as wind, solar, hydrogen, geothermal, and battery storage, support the need for greater economic and social resilience. GIS can help leaders understand energy potential, drive site selection, improve operational performance, and optimize energy transmission systems to change the way companies leverage renewable resources. 

GIS is enabling new energy production

Wind

GIS allows you to add all influencing factors to your wind energy projects: wind energy potential, land use, population density, distance to road, slope, biodiversity, regulatory requirements, and distance to transmission lines. Unite all the information you need to design, build, and efficiently and safely operate wind energy facilities.

Solar

GIS applies across the solar energy business, from mapping energy potential to commercial analytics. Leverage GIS to understand opportunities; drive site selection; and support the design, visualization, and public engagement processes. Use GIS to bring your projects to life and engage with various stakeholders.

Hydrogen

GIS modeling is used heavily in hydrogen infrastructure, demand, market, and resource analysis. From looking at hydrogen potential from renewable energy sources to infrastructure and consumer demand, GIS enables you to consider several multivariate scenarios to produce optimal business strategies.

Geothermal

Energy leaders use GIS in locating and developing renewable, geothermal resources. Important GIS-supported workflows include determining prime locations to implement geothermal technologies, potential markets, and the required infrastructure. GIS enables exploration workflows to locate resources, make site selections, drive public engagement, and create visualizations as well as optimize efficiency of operations.
