Efficient planning with dvlp.energy

With dvlp.energy, you can quickly and easily find the right sites for your solar, wind or storage projects — and keep track of your entire project pipeline at all times.

The right solutions for every phase of your project

Each project phase presents its own challenges.
dvlp.energy offers practical solutions that provide you with targeted support in all important development steps — modular, intuitive and collaborative.

Assess potential sites and collect relevant documents

There are many potential sites for new solar, battery or wind farms. But which ones are actually suitable? Often, the devil is in the details, and too much time is invested in unsuitable areas. With the dvlp.energy app, you can determine in a matter of seconds whether an area is suitable, and create all relevant documents you need to start developing on potential sites.

In this video, Oliver shows you how to find a potential location, set up a project, check it for suitability, and generate all essential documents for development.

Examine network connection points

The dvlp.energy app enables you to carry out detailed grid analyses and connection studies for your battery storage, wind, solar project or data center at medium-voltage, high-voltage, and extra-high-voltage levels. Various data layers are available to show the grid infrastructure and potential local connection opportunities and risks.

In the video, Fabio shows you how to check grid connections using the dvlp.energy app.

Clip, edit, merge, and group objects

The project area often has to be extensively edited, e.g. to consider privileged areas or building restrictions.

In this video, Fabio shows you how to refine sites in dvlp.energy easily and flexibly.

Market entry to Germany - find sites based on restrictions and ownership information

Potential sites are not always served on a silver platter. More often, they must be manually identified by considering all relevant suitability and exclusion criteria, and only afterward can the ownership information for suitable parcels be obtained through a time-consuming process.

In this video, Fabio shows you how to perform a highly targeted site search (also known as white-space mapping) in dvlp.energy. Looking for a parcel of land that is at least 2 hectares in size, located no more than 2 km from a substation with available grid capacity, and not situated within residential or protected areas? No problem! Simply enter your criteria, define the search radius, and discover suitable sites.

Define search radius (4:30)
Perform "white space" (greenfield) mapping (4:35)
Export suitable parcels (5:00)

Request owner data and display it on the map

In order to secure a plot of land for a project, the land owner must be determined. With dvlp.energy, this is possible all over Germany in just two clicks. In addition, the owner information can be easily integrated and displayed cartographically.

Fabio shows you how to do that in this tutorial:

Request owner information via dvlp.energy (0:35)
Upload owner information (1:50)
Edit and export owner data (2:50)
Show owner details on map (3:20)

Better team collaboration

Project development requires a team effort.
dvlp.energy is therefore designed for the collaboration with team members and the exchange with external partners. Although project pipelines can be managed and structured, communication problems are one of the main reasons for delays in project progress.
