Tools for Informed Development & Successful Reclamation

The objective of the Smart Energy web tools is to provide relevant, scientifically robust, and accessible information to support energy development and management decisions. By providing a public facing portal, Smart Energy allows all stakeholders to access the same, definitive, and current spatial data, thereby facilitating informed decision making. The Smart Energy web tools aggregate a variety of biophysical data layers relevant to energy development, including information on:

  • Energy Resources
  • Environmental Resources
  • Surface Land Management and Ownership
  • Land Treatment and Fire History
  • Soils and Topography
  • Climate and Weather
  • Transportation
  • Landcover and Vegetation
  • Recreation and Visual Resources

Smart Energy analysis tools allow user to select and explore data layers, define a specific area of interest, and generate a summary report of data layers in their area of interest.
