Engie has launched a free, open-access web platform, Enermap, to map renewable energy potential at the municipal and regional level.

The Enermap platform aggregates nearly 25 public datasets – including Global Wind Atlas, IGN maps, Météo-France, RTE, and INRAE data – to provide a comprehensive view of development potential for solar, wind, hydroelectric, biogas, and battery storage projects. Certain configurations also incorporate heating and cooling networks.

Users can compare local energy consumption with production potential, explore project structures, and access indicators on climate vulnerability, tax benchmarks, and financing resources.

Enermap complements existing French initiatives, including the portail cartographique des énergies renouvelables platform for local authorities and Cerema tools such as BatEnr, which provide technical assessments of building energy efficiency and thermal renewable energy potential.

Broader platforms like Siterre combine environmental, urban, and energy data to support local planning and decision-making.
