SmartMaps: The Modern, Privacy-Compliant
Mapping Service for Energy Providers
Flexible mapping solutions for energy companies
SmartMaps allows you to easily display the locations of wind turbines and solar parks on a map. It is fully privacy-compliant and features modern visuals and additional features, making it the ideal mapping solution for energy and electricity suppliers.
In times of rising demand for renewable energy and increasing decentralisation of electricity generation, digital map solutions can offer significant value to energy service providers. Regardless of the type of installations – whether wind turbines, biogas, or photovoltaics – geographic location plays a key role in planning, operations, and communication with customers, investors, and authorities.
Interactive maps allow companies to visualise all current wind turbine or photovoltaic sites in their portfolio, enriched with key metrics such as power generation or CO₂ savings. A digital map integrated into a provider's website or app provides an overview of installed capacities, asset status, or expansion potential – whether at a state level, across Germany, or throughout Europe.
Benefits of a Flexible Mapping Solution for
Energy Companies and Their Customers
Benefits for companies
In the light of current challenges in energy supply and the accelerated growth of renewable energies in Germany and throughout Europe, these solutions can help to streamline processes and support political objectives through concrete actions. Maps are a useful tool for visualising abstract data. By doing so, they contribute to making the energy transition more tangible and understandable.
Planning
Overview and Planning
The map view provides a clear and accessible visual representation of locations, capacities, and operational statuses of installations. This supports maintenance planning, grid management, and the quick identification of regional performance fluctuations.
Communication
Targeted Communication
Whether it's for internal or external communication, such as with investors, authorities, or project teams, an interactive map can present key information at a glance. This eliminates the need for complex tables or PDFs. For new locations or projects, the existing infrastructure can be displayed directly to help accelerate the approval process.

SmartMaps – the fair.digital alternative
Google Maps is one of the most widely used mapping services. It is straightforward to integrate and customise, similar to other platforms such as Bing Maps or Apple Maps.
However, when it comes to business applications, data protection must not be overlooked. It is crucial that customer and partner data is secured and should not be transmitted to data centres abroad, especially not outside the European Union.
In contrast, SmartMaps offers a mapping platform with features and functionalities that are particularly crucial for energy providers.

The cooperation is thoroughly professional, very dedicated, and it also fits on a human level. We get quick answers and clear statements. There are firm commitments on both sides. In short: teamwork as you would wish for it!"
