The Grid Has Changed. Has Your Data Model?

Volue & Elvia’s Implementation Guide for ArcGIS Utility Network

The energy transition isn't waiting. EVs, rooftop solar, household batteries, and heat pumps are already on the grid creating bi-directional flows, volatile load patterns, and connection volumes that today's IT systems weren't designed to handle. Distribution system operators are being asked to do more, with less margin, on infrastructure that was never built for this.

ArcGIS Utility Network offers the right foundation. But only if it's implemented correctly from the start.
