The development of renewable energy sources—such as wind, solar, hydrogen, and geothermal energy facilities—and the infrastructure to support them are inherently spatial in nature. Current trends in renewable energy projects are using geospatial analysis to help leaders optimize energy transmission systems, changing the way companies leverage renewable resources.

‏‏‎Leverage a digital approach to develop renewable energy

 
  • Use maps, imagery, and remote sensing data to understand energy potential, drive site selection, and improve operational performance.
  • Integrate field, machine, and real-time data into operational dashboards that help improve workflow efficiency, and maintain clean and smart energy projects to ensure a low carbon sustainable future.
  • Deploy systems on-premises and/or in the cloud with modern architectures and SaaS/DaaS/IaaS infrastructures to improve clean energy production, transmission, and delivery for greater economic and social resilience.
