Energy
Energy planning in GIS is about where energy is produced, moved and used: siting wind turbines and solar parks, the grid that connects them, and the land and transport that biomass such as straw needs.
The main actors in Danish Energy planning are the Danish Energy Agency (Energistyrelsen) and the dedicated organisation (EnergiNet). Some of the key areas are
Typical questions
- Where can wind turbines and solar parks be placed, given distance rules and protected areas?
- Where is biomass such as straw produced, and how far must it travel to a plant?
- How do transport networks and transmission lines connect production and use?
