Substation visualisation and connectivity

Enhance project planning with customisable views, distinct icons, and a mapping tool to visualise upstream and downstream connections and capacity.

Filter and display only the substation types you need, such as Bulk Supply Points (BSP) or Grid Supply Points (GSP), using intuitive checkboxes.
When viewing a substation, by clicking the “Show substation's connections” you can instantly visualise upstream and downstream connections.
This feature allows users to see the demand and generation headroom, crucial for projects that either take or provide energy to the grid.

Overhead lines and underground cables

We use data from the Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) to provide detailed coverage across most of the country.

Our underground cable data is continuously updated and will provide even greater coverage as more DNOs provide information.
The data on overhead power lines provides a comprehensive view of the country thanks to data from the DNOs.

Having the capability through the software for live properties to update every 24 hours, it allows us to be on the front foot and get opportunities straight out to our franchise owners, it's really added value in that respect.

Nimbus has allowed me to truly scale my property business - going from sourcing 3 sites a month using traditional methods to 600. And one of those I secured through Nimbus was 50% profit on GDV.

Nimbus is ultimately the one-stop shop for us. Being able to overlay our Land Registry titles over Google satellite imagery really helps us to bring it all into one place.
