Whether it’s potential analyses for renewable energies such as wind power and photovoltaics, the regionalisation of energy consumption at the district level, small-scale analyses of heating networks or heat pumps, the siting of charging stations, or much more, geodata plays a crucial role in addressing issues related to the sustainable transformation of our energy system. We examine data at various scales, from individual buildings and neighborhoods to municipalities, districts, federal states, Europe, and even the entire globe.

In addition to the research, preparation, and processing of data, the visualization of complex relationships through effective visualizations—whether in the form of static or interactive maps—is becoming increasingly important.

We are convinced that open data makes a significant contribution to energy system analyses in particular, as well as to scientific research in general. Whenever possible, we incorporate open data into our projects and make it available to others through our FfE Open Data Portal.
