Nearmap and RenewMap partner to support project planning

Location intelligence company Nearmap has partnered with renewable energy market intelligence provider RenewMap, bringing high-resolution aerial imagery directly into the RenewMap platform to accelerate insights across the renewable energy sector.

Through this integration, RenewMap users can now overlay frequently updated, high-resolution aerial content from Nearmap, giving developers, consultants and decision-makers a sharper, more current view of Australia’s renewable energy landscape.

RenewMap is a project tracking platform designed for professionals navigating the clean energy transition. With robust spatial analysis, filtering and export tools, it’s become a go-to resource for assessing project viability, tracking development pipelines, and making data-driven investment and policy decisions.

“In a sector defined by rapid development and tight deadlines, access to accurate, up-to-date location data is essential,” said Dan Paull, Executive Vice President & General Manager for Australia and New Zealand at Nearmap. “By combining Nearmap content with RenewMap’s project intelligence, we’re helping energy professionals make faster, more informed decisions, whether they’re planning, building or managing clean energy assets.”

The integration is said to allow seamless visual analysis of renewable energy projects alongside key contextual layers, including accurate infrastructure footprints and spatial data, Renewable Energy Zones (REZs), local government areas (LGAs), and resource maps. With the ability to remotely inspect sites and validate asset locations, users can reduce reliance on outdated or low-resolution satellite content.

“When our users need real-time validation of ground conditions at a project site, they can’t afford to guess,” said Alex Thompson, co-founder and Director at RenewMap. “Nearmap brings a new level of ground truth to our platform. Whether our users are prospecting for new energy sites, tracking construction progress or analysing industry trends, this integration means better data, less uncertainty, and more confident outcomes.”

With frequent captures and coverage of up to 95% of the Australian population, Nearmap imagery gives RenewMap users a clear, consistent view of how energy projects and surrounding landscapes are changing over time.

“Nearmap delivers unmatched coverage and resolution,” said M’Shenda Turner, Senior Director, Survey and Geospatial Content Operations for Australia and New Zealand at Nearmap. “When paired with RenewMap’s project data, our customers can see what’s really happening on the ground — with clarity and context — giving them the confidence to make better decisions.”
