Abstract :
The author addresses a number of the advantages and pitfalls of geographic information systems which are almost certainly common to Regional Electricity Companies (RECs) and probably apply to the majority of electric utilities in relation to a project, undertaken in support of the management of electricity distribution networks, within Midlands Electricity. He considers aspects of the choice of system and of the development and the implementation phases
