LTDS CIM Examples

Our Common Information Model (CIM) combines the historical network data sharing through the Long Term Development Statement (LTDS) with NPg's network models. The CIM models allow any external stakeholder to download our network models and import them into their power systems analysis software, regardless if it is the same software as used by NPg.

The CIM process facilitates the exchange of a comprehensive set of network model data, including equipment, connectivity, operational, geographical, and situational data, in extensible markup language (XML) and resource description framework (RDF) formats.

Please note, these files have been uploaded as early examples as to the direction of the LTDS data sharing process. Any data issues will be corrected in the full release in November 2025.
