sol·licitants







Data de la petició: 17-05-2025
Organismes responsables: Centro Nacional de Información Geográfica
Descripció:
We are requesting access to a spatial dataset that includes the delineations of reference land parcels across all land use categories as classified in Spain—such as agricultural land (arable, permanent crops, pastures), industrial areas, forest and natural areas, urban and built-up land, transport infrastructure, and water bodies. The dataset should ideally identify both current use and designated land use zoning. This data will be integrated into a geospatial analysis model on ArcGIS to support land suitability assessments for renewable energy development. If possible, an API with regular updates for this data from the public platform would help our cause greatly
Motiu de la petició:
We are developing a land intelligence platform to support small and mid-sized renewable energy project developers in identifying suitable land for their projects. Accurate and up-to-date land use data is essential to evaluate project feasibility and regulatory alignment. The data will help assess land availability, ecological constraints, and usage restrictions.
Beneficis esperats:
The data will support more efficient land use planning and help accelerate the permitting process for renewable energy projects. Our platform aims to contribute to Spain’s energy transition by improving access to pre-qualified land plots for clean energy deployment, reducing delays and increasing project success rates.
Resposta:
