Using e.planning, we can significantly optimize our strategic target network planning process. During the evolution of the energy system transition towards Renewable Sources our task of supply changes constantly. Dealing with a relatively high degree of volatility a scenario and KPI based assessment of our grids, and their development plans is an essential advantage. We can check our current target network plans one by on and trigger their updated beginning with the ones of most concern. The key advantage: The target networks can be assessed using consistent criteria, making the quality of our target network planning measurable. Consequently, we considerably enhance planning efficiency and can simultaneously achieve cost savings. Thus, the software can effectively support our asset management process in accordance with ISO 55000.
Strategic target grid planning for high- and medium-voltage grids
Analyse scenarios, calculate grids, detect hotspots and prioritise investments data-based — all in one system, web-based for HV & MV grids.
Grid operators who trust us
When target grid planning gets complex, you need more than Excel and isolated tools
Electromobility, heat pumps, photovoltaics, wind and new load profiles are changing the basis of grid planning. At the same time, grid areas have to be compared, investments justified and measures prioritised. This is exactly where e.planning comes in.

- Critical grid areas hard to compareMake hotspots visible via key figures and network calculations
- Investments must be prioritised transparentlyAssess measures and document decision bases transparently
- Media breaks and manual processes slow planningDigitalise grid planning and consolidate analyses centrally

Grid operators rely on us
In collaboration with enervance, we are developing an innovative geo-analytics tool that supports key planning processes at Amprion and significantly simplifies them through digitalization. Our focus is on providing a transparent representation of planning by integrating various source systems. The generated information enables planning-relevant analyses, allowing us to draw valuable insights and provide strategic guidance.
Grid operators take the path to digital maturity with enervance.

More than target grid planning: data basis and portfolio in mind
Strategic grid planning only works on a robust data basis. In addition, enervance supports with e.asset for asset-related analyses, key figures and investment prioritisation.
Frequently asked questions about e.planning
Which voltage levels and network operators is e.planning designed for? e.planning is designed for distribution system operators, with a particular focus on strategic target grid planning in high- and medium-voltage networks. The solution helps operators assess future supply requirements, identify the need for action at an early stage and plan the long-term development of their networks in a structured manner.
Power system analysis is a core component of e.planning, but the solution goes significantly beyond network calculations alone. e.planning combines scenario development, power system analysis, automated network ranking and hotspot identification with the definition and evaluation of specific measures. Customised KPIs, different analytical perspectives and dashboards provide a transparent basis for planning and investment decisions.
Reliable planning results require a clean, consistent and computationally viable data foundation. Depending on the use case, this may include network data, scenario data, asset information, planning and operating principles, and relevant KPIs. CIM and CGMES can provide a standardised and interoperable foundation for integrating and reusing this data. Drawing on our CIM expertise and the enervance CIM Suite, we can support the integration, transformation, harmonisation and validation of data where required. The specific integration approach depends on the operator’s existing system and data landscape.
Yes. KPIs, assessment criteria and analyses can be tailored to the specific requirements of each network operator. Existing data sources, scenarios, and company-specific planning and operating principles can also be incorporated into the configuration of the solution.
Based on the identified hotspots, measures such as network reinforcement, network expansion or changes to the network topology can be assessed. Their effects are then recalculated and evaluated. This makes it possible to compare different options and prioritise measures according to their effectiveness.
The initial meeting is primarily about understanding your current situation: Which voltage levels and use cases are relevant? How is strategic target grid planning currently carried out within your organisation? What data and system landscape is already in place? Based on this, we can provide an introduction to e.planning tailored to your specific questions. Depending on your interests, this may include a focused demonstration of the software or begin with a purely technical discussion of your requirements and potential use cases. The meeting is free of charge and without obligation.
