Accelerate grid infrastructure development with clear designs, spatial quality and broad public support

Design and visualize substations, transmission lines and grid connections in one intuitive workflow, all the way to one integrated energy park. Combine route planning, realistic tower models and 3D visualizations to support spatial integration, faster permitting and stronger public support.

Visualizations

Bring grid infrastructure projects to life with realistic visuals. From transmission towers and line routes to substations and transformer stations. With 3D visualizations and 360° photos you make complex designs understandable for residents, authorities and other stakeholders.

Show grid infrastructure in context with lifelike 3D

Visualize transmission towers, line routes and substations in the existing landscape using realistic 3D models and accurate elevation data. Use 360° photos to clearly show how mitigation measures, such as hedgerows, fences or tree lines, reduce visual impact and enhance spatial quality.

World-Ready photomontages in one click

Generate instant photomontages based on Google Street View. Without the need for advance photography, EnergyPlanner blends 360° photos with accurate 3D visualizations to deliver a convincing and realistic view of your grid infrastructure project. Use the built-in calibration tool and SkyDetect© feature to precisely align and mask all components of the grid infrastructure in the final visual. All this in just 5 minutes!

Easily add your own 360° photos

Capture and import a 360° photo with a single click, ideal when Google Street View is unavailable. Visualize your grid infrastructure from a backyard, a balcony or deep in a nature reserve. You can also upload drone-based 360° photos for a photorealistic view from the air.

Map & Worldlayers

Map grid infrastructure projects with geospatial precision. Easily design and compare multiple scenarios for both transmission route planning and substation design, including their spatial integration. Use GIS layers, elevation data, and terrain maps to gain full insight into surroundings, obstacles, and sensitivities without requiring GIS expertise.

Instant access to global map layers and your own GIS data

Use topographic maps, grid capacity maps, risk maps or satellite imagery. Easily import your own GIS layers, from transmission routes and protected areas to detailed substation layouts, and manage everything in one integrated environment.

Full control over route design in 3D and on the map

Combine high-resolution elevation data with realistic 3D representations of transmission towers, transmission line routes and substations. Assess landscape impact and clearly identify sensitive locations such as residential areas, schools or Natura 2000 sites.

Smart tools for decision-making and trade-offs

Sketch design variants directly on the map, adjust sag values per span, measure lengths and obstacles and compare scenarios visually. Work in your preferred local coordinate system and use the output to support informed decision-making and well-founded planning choices.

Line

Site Design & Mitigation

Design grid infrastructure with care for landscape integration and public acceptance. Analyze grid congestion and identify where wind and solar energy, combined with battery storage, can reinforce each other strategically. EnergyPlanner supports you with realistic visualizations, mitigation measures and well-founded spatial design choices.

Integrate transmission routes and substations into one coherent design

Design the entire transmission route, including substations, access roads and related infrastructure using an extensive library of tower models and modular substation components. Visualize the entire system directly in 2D, 3D, and 360° photos, including connections to wind farms, solar farms, and battery storage.

Optimize your design for regulations, visibility and risk zones

Visualize where electromagnetic fields may occur and where noise could cause disturbance. Compare alternative routes and substation sites visually, tailored to residents, environmental sensitivities and technical constraints. Develop each scenario with appropriate mitigation measures.

Strengthen public support through thoughtful landscape integration

Design visual buffers such as tree lines, hedgerows or earthen berms around substations and along routes. Gain insight into distances from homes, Natura 2000 areas and other sensitive zones and show how your design enhances spatial quality and societal acceptance.

See how it works

Energyplanner is a user-friendly web application that runs seamlessly in any modern web browser. It visualizes projects in multiple formats, including a 2D map, a 3D environment, and panoramic photos.

 

The application allows users to explore projects from any angle, offering an interactive and comprehensive view. Its accessibility and intuitive design make it an ideal tool for planning and stakeholder engagement.
