Taesa of Brazil Launches GoBid Transmission Line Planning Platform

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 10, Brazilian transmission company TAESA and Ambientare Geotech officially launched the GoBid intelligent transmission line planning platform at the 17th Energy Industry Environmental Leaders Conference held in São Paulo. The platform combines artificial intelligence with geospatial analysis technology to automatically process terrain, land use, environmental constraints, and engineering conditions along line corridors, generating route alignments and tower placement plans. The project is included in the Brazilian National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) Innovation Research and Development Program under number PD-07130-0061/2025.

The core function of GoBid is to conduct multi-criteria spatial analysis of transmission line corridors. The platform can simultaneously call upon 320 layers of data, covering terrain, vegetation, land use, buildings, ground facilities, restricted development areas, indigenous territories, and engineering design parameters. After users define the target area and set screening rules, the system can generate hundreds of corridor options within minutes and output tower positions, preliminary investment costs, regulatory indicators, and comparison results across different options. According to Ambientare, a regional constraint analysis that previously took weeks to complete can be shortened to approximately 30 minutes using the platform.

GoBid used all transmission lines already built by Taesa to conduct tower type selection tests, achieving an accuracy rate of 86%; it also analyzed 2,200 transmission lines from the Brazilian Energy Research Company (EPE) to establish a mathematical model supporting new line siting. During the design phase, the platform also incorporated environmental reference requirements from the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), bringing constraints such as vegetation, land tenure, and ecological protection areas forward into the line planning stage to compare environmental compliance risks across different corridor options.
