Research GIS Mapping for Enhanced Utility Planning This case study showcases the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to enhance distribution planning, customer initiatives, and grant pursuits. GIS allows for a more nuanced understanding of service territories and enables targeted improvements. Other stakeholders can draw on this example and leverage GIS to create more resilient, reliable, and equitable energy systems. The Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA), Clallam County Public Utility District (PUD), and the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) leveraged Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in this innovative partnership. Clallam County PUD was able to visualize its infrastructure against a backdrop of socio-economic and environmental data, thereby identifying critical areas for investment and securing funding more effectively. “The introduction of enhanced GIS layering through our collaboration with SEPA and BEF enriches our strategic planning toolkit, offering a way to visualize and analyze our infrastructure within the context of socio-economic and environmental data. Looking ahead, it empowers us to make more informed decisions that are crucial for advancing toward a decarbonized and resilient grid.” Colin Young, Distribution System Supervisor for Clallam County PUD Authors: Jared Leader, Sr. Director, Resilience, Smart Electric Power Alliance Carolyn Dougherty, Sr. Analyst, Research & Industry Strategy, Smart Electric Power Alliance Carina Wallack, Manager, Editorial Content, Smart Electric Power Alliance GIS Mapping for Enhanced Utility Planning Name* First Last Email* Company* State (Optional)What state do you live in?AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces PacificCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUS Virgin IslandsUtahVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingTitle* Sign me up to receive updates on ?
