As leaders in renewable energy site selection, we’re dedicated to providing you with cutting-edge tools and data to streamline your projects. In this update, we’re excited to introduce powerful new features for both our US and European clients. From bulk editing capabilities in the Portfolio View and advanced LMP/Capacity data in the US to refined parcel filtering and landowner identification in Europe, these enhancements are designed to save you time and optimize your site selection process. Read on to discover how these updates can benefit your renewable development projects.

Universal Releases

Bulk Edit Information in Portfolio View

On the Portfolio View, you can now edit data for multiple selected projects or parcels at one time. 

See previously saved parcels, subs, and lines & add them to a new project 

There are three new layers in the layer catalog that show previously saved Parcels, Power Lines, and Substations. Turn these layers on to see where you’ve sited before or to add previously saved data to a new project.

Export subset of data with Shapefile export 

Shapefile exports now support filters applied on the project and will only export the subset of data that meets your filter criteria, if any filters have been applied in the asset tables or on the map (e.g. filter the parcels list to show only 3-star parcels and export just those parcels via the Shapefile export).

United States Releases

LMP/Capacity Updates 

View 4-hour min/max spread calculations within your premium LMP dataset by clicking any node within your LMP data layer! This data is valuable for renewable energy projects that utilize a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), as it enables you to see historical nodal price minimums and maximums during your site selection process. If you are interested in LMP data, please reach out to Support@AndersonOpt.com for a demo!

South Carolina capacity data has been refreshed with latest power flow data. Capacity data now reflects the 2027 Summer Peak and 2027 Spring Light Load power flow models. These updated data sets include allocated costs, constraint scenarios, charging data scenarios, and more! If you are subscribed to South Carolina capacity data, you can access the latest version of the data in the layer catalog.

• Abandoned Wells (USGS / US Unplugged Orphaned Wells)

European Releases

Advanced German Parcel Filtering

Reduce the time it takes to find land in Germany by refining your parcel search. You can now filter by key parcel identifiers such as Gemarkung, Flur, Flurstücksnummer Zähler, and Flurstücksnummer Nenner. 

From the 3-dot menu on the parcel layer in the layer catalog, by choosing the ‘Open Selection Table’ option, the ability to filter all parcels by selected fields is enabled. By hovering over the parcel of interest, you can easily view the filtered parcel location highlighted on the map. More information can be found here.

Identify Landowners in England and Wales

Quickly and easily identify landowners in England and Wales by downloading Land Registry Documents and viewing landowner information. After selecting the desired parcel and adding to the project, download Land 

Registry documents from the See Actions menu. Full details here

View landowner information and land registry documents from the Asset Details page.
