An illustrative LEAP scenario comparing homes and gas infrastructure before and after pipeline retirement. — LEAP framework (2022), p. 37: illustrative pipeline-retirement scenario. This is not a current software screenshot.

This 2022 white paper introduces Local Energy Asset Planning, a framework for bringing spatial data into energy transition decisions. It describes how local datasets can inform targeted electrification, non-pipeline alternatives, and integrated energy planning.

Michael J. Walsh prepared the paper for HEET, RMI, and the Boston Green Ribbon Commission.
