Grid Planning
Plan the capacity for a changing grid.
We help utilities understand where the grid needs to grow and prioritize infrastructure investments that support reliable service, new loads, distributed energy resources, and EV adoption.
The Planning Challenge
Know where capacity is needed next.
Load growth is changing the demands on distribution infrastructure. EV charging, electrification, and DER can shift both the size and timing of demand. IAS supports planning teams with the analysis, scenarios, and practical delivery plans needed to make sound capacity decisions.
How We Support Utilities
Planning grounded in grid conditions.
Load Growth & Scenario Planning
Develop planning assumptions and future load scenarios that account for electrification, EV charging, customer growth, and changing demand patterns.
Capacity & Constraint Analysis
Identify where feeders, transformers, and other distribution assets may face capacity constraints as loads and operating conditions change.
DER & EV Readiness
Evaluate how distributed generation, storage, and EV adoption affect local capacity needs and inform practical integration strategies.
Investment & Upgrade Planning
Translate analysis into prioritized infrastructure options, dependencies, and implementation roadmaps that planning and delivery teams can use.
The Outcome
Capacity decisions that support reliability and growth.
Clear visibility into emerging constraints helps utilities target upgrades where they matter, sequence investments, and prepare the distribution grid for future demand.
From Analysis to Action
Practical support for planning teams.
- Planning inputsLoad and adoption assumptions, data needs, and scenario definitions.
- Decision supportCapacity findings, constraints, and options that can be reviewed across stakeholders.
- Delivery roadmapPrioritized upgrades and dependencies tied to planning and implementation schedules.
