TenneT, Statnett
One challenge when informing the public on spatial decisions is that the normal information formats, such as texts and 2D maps, are often too abstract to provide individuals with a clear image of how the final grids will look.
To address this challenge, Norwegian TSO, Statnett, and Dutch TSO, TenneT started to produce 3D visualisations of the line drawings, enabling viewers to see the lines and other structures in a more comprehensible format. The use of these 3D maps has proven to be popular and public laymen have reported that it brings a more vivid understanding of the projects.
