GIS Analyses
The term Geographic Information Systems (GIS) covers all tools and methods with which spatial data can be recorded, processed, and analyzed. GIS are important tools in the Off-Grid Unit at RLI. For example, we can use satellite images to identify settlements in rural areas and in this way plan network expansion or self-sufficient electrification. We use common open-source GIS tools, but also develop in-house solutions.
