Geoinformation

In the federal administration, spatial data (collectively referred to as geodata) form an important basis for decision making. Within the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), geodata play a significant role in a variety of processes, for example planning approval for electricity transmission lines or the search for potential sites for deep geological repositories. In view of this, the SFOE operates a geographic information system for the collection, processing, analysis and visualisation of geodata.
