The energy transition requires precise spatial planning: where is demand highest, which districts suit integrated energy concepts, and where should infrastructure investments go? GOAT supports energy planners, municipal utilities, and public authorities in turning complex spatial data into clear, decision-ready planning insights.
Assess the spatial distribution of energy consumption and renewable energy potential across a municipality or district. GOAT enables the integration and visualisation of heat density maps, building stock data, and energy infrastructure into a unified planning environment — supporting scenario development and the definition of target pathways for greenhouse gas-neutral energy supply.
Evaluate the spatial coverage and accessibility of EV charging stations, hydrogen refuelling points, and sustainable mobility infrastructure — identifying underserved areas and supporting data-driven decisions about where new installations are most needed. GOAT's isochrone and catchment area tools help grid operators, municipalities, and mobility planners comply with growing regulatory requirements (EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, German Ladeinfrastrukturgesetz) and optimise network rollout strategies.
Develop comprehensive energy and urban development strategies at the district level — combining energy demand analysis with assessments of settlement structure, land use, green space, and mobility. GOAT supports integrated quarter concepts that address energy efficiency, microclimate, and urban quality of life in a single spatial planning framework — as demonstrated in Plan4Better's district concept project for the municipality of Altrip.
