Energy Transition – Identifying Potential and Planning for Sustainability
Our Expertise for Your Network and Customer Planning
The energy transition and renewable energy, grid stability and security of supply, e-mobility and photovoltaics, hydrogen storage and smart meters—the energy sector, more than almost any other industry, is shaped by new buzzwords, far-reaching changes, and major challenges.
The most valuable foundation for overcoming these challenges is data and its targeted analysis. Nexiga offers you both.
From detailed heat demand analyses and potential assessments to targeted sales management—we have the information you need for your planning.
- Assessing the heating needs of buildings: Identify residential buildings or businesses with high heating needs and potential for heating solutions, energy-service contracting models, or district heating connections.
- Planning E-Mobility in the Service Area: Analyze the current fleet of electric vehicles and future trends, and use this information to determine infrastructure needs.
- Expand the charging infrastructure to meet demand: Identify early on where additional charging stations are needed and in which areas network bottlenecks might arise.
- Identifying Customer Potential: Determine which households are particularly interested in solar power, heat pumps, or electric vehicles, and which customer groups are at a higher risk of canceling their service.

Identify Generation Surpluses Immediately
Data from the market master data registry is used to map all power generation facilities in Germany—this data provides the basis for a comprehensive overview of installed generation capacity.
The Hellbrise Monitor makes this data transparent and easy to understand. It shows how far the expansion of renewable energy has already progressed and how Germany’s energy generation mix is changing.
At the same time, the monitor displays current generation surpluses and highlights the challenges posed by the fluctuating feed-in of wind and solar energy.
The Hellbrise Monitor provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the energy transition and the requirements for the energy supply of the future.
Here, you'll have full access to the analysis options in the market master register.

Here you can find more information about the method and analysis.
Identify e-mobility with pinpoint accuracy
Nexiga provides answers to your questions about e-mobility and charging infrastructure, and in addition to a wealth of informative content, it also offers a unique directory of charging stations.
In addition, garages are the ideal place to charge an electric car using a wallbox. We identify garages in residential buildings and other available parking areas for you to help plan potential charging stations and much more.
Simply recharge your batteries and make informed decisions.
Where Heat Pumps Are Needed
Nexiga's heat pump score highlights where heat pumps are already well established and where there is particularly significant potential for future expansion.
Using census and building data, it is possible to identify regional hotspots and systematically tap into the potential for climate-friendly heat supply.
Energy providers, municipal utilities, and local governments can see at a glance where opportunities for the heating transition exist.
Wind and Solar Power for Stable Power Grids
Solar Cadastre for the Energy Transition
Wind Turbine Database
The Nexiga database (as of June 2025) includes approximately 37,000 wind turbines in Germany, including planned turbines. About 85% are in operation.
Detailed information is available for each facility, including location data, performance metrics, technical specifications (e.g., hub height and rotor diameter), operator information, and commissioning and planning data. As such, the data provides a solid foundation for analysis, planning, and decision-making in the energy sector.
In the Fast Lane with Big Data Analytics
Through the strategic use of micro-targeting for a well-known automaker, we were able to successfully support the launch of a new car model.
Using Nexiga’s expertise, the rather vague profile of a driver with an affinity for “innovative powertrain concepts” was transformed into a concrete buyer profile.
Energy Efficiency in Real Estate Valuation
Our case study demonstrates how data can be used to promote energy efficiency.
By combining and analyzing new and existing datasets, the energy efficiency of German retail properties was examined.
What do customers ask us?
Which customers have the greatest potential for solar power systems, heat pumps, or electric vehicles?
Using building- and household-related data—such as roof potential, wall surface area, energy demand, purchasing power, household size, and interest in and affinity for renewable energy —we identify the most promising target groups within a service area. This allows us to tailor sales and marketing efforts specifically to customers who are most likely to make a purchase.
What is the current and future heat demand in my service area?
Using building-specific data on heating demand, hot water demand, building types, living space, building age categories, and heating technologies, we provide transparency regarding current and future heat demand. This data enables well-founded analyses for municipal heat planning, the identification of suitable supply areas, and the planning of district heating networks and other heating solutions.
Where will additional charging stations be needed in the future, and what grid bottlenecks might arise?
Using data on electric vehicle fleets, registration trends, passenger car information, household structures, building types, parking situations (such as garages), and socioeconomic characteristics, we are able to map current and future charging demand within a service area. This allows us to identify suitable locations for charging infrastructure, assess expansion potential, and identify potential grid bottlenecks.
Where are existing or planned solar and wind power plants located, and what potential remains?
Our data portfolio on photovoltaic and wind power plants provides detailed information on existing and planned generation facilities. This includes, among other things , locations, capacity, technical plant data, commissioning data, operator information, and the potential for further expansion of renewable energy. In this way, we provide the data foundation for grid planning, feed-in analyses, potential assessments, and investment decisions.
How can data be used to support decisions regarding sales, infrastructure, and investments?
By combining building, energy, market, infrastructure, and business data, we create a comprehensive view of your service area. This enables energy providers to identify opportunities, forecast future energy demand, prioritize investments, and plan sales and infrastructure initiatives based on a reliable data foundation.
