Application

• Geographic Information System locates developments relative to SP Energy Networks infrastructure

• Development data allows improved prediction of level of demand• Future Demand profiles are modelled and impact on infrastructure is

determined

Data Sources

• Government strategic planning – SDPs and LDPs• Planning applications, Housing Land Audits, Commercial and Industrial

development approvals• SP Energy Networks connection requests• Changing Demand Trends – heat pumps, electric vehicles

Working in PartnershipMutual Benefits

16

1. Open exchange of relevant policy, planning and development information between SP Energy Networks and City Councils.

2. Allows comparison of SP Energy Networks investment plans with the City's strategic objectives.

3. Provides for Energy Investment Planning for energy infrastructure that best supports city economic and social objectives.

4. SP Energy Networks will be better able to provide continuing support to key public an private investor developments

Conclusions

17

1. Integrated Energy Planning provides opportunities to both SP Energy Networks and City Councils

2. Integrated Energy Planning allows for cost effective investment in infrastructure by SP Energy Networks

3. Councils benefit from improved visibility of infrastructure planning and stakeholder influence on the service provided
