Intermap Awarded Contract for EDF Hydro Power Projects in South America

Advanced AI/ML technology enhances datasets that support clean energy initiatives

High-resolution data enables efficient and accurate planning for renewable energy projects

DENVER, March 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intermap Technologies (TSX: IMP; OTCQX: ITMSF) (“Intermap” or the “Company”), a global leader in 3D geospatial products and intelligence solutions, today announced it has been awarded a contract for high-resolution NEXTMap® digital terrain models to support EDF Hydro ("EDF") with hydro power projects in South America.

EDF has been a world leader in hydro power design, development and operation for over 70 years. Intermap’s NEXTMap digital terrain models (DTMs) enable EDF to perform hydro power feasibility studies, project modeling and preliminary engineering for multiple prospective hydro power projects in South America. Intermap offers these capabilities as a service at global scale.

Intermap’s elevation data collection and processing expertise provides EDF engineers with high-resolution DTMs that are consistent in precision, quality and data specification across all areas of interest, enabling efficient analyses of numerous remote hydro power projects. The contract areas are composed of strategic topography containing mountainous forest, which is challenging terrain to map accurately due to the difficulty of measuring the ground beneath trees and on steep slopes. Intermap’s advanced technology is unique, patented and AI/ML-driven, enabling it to map rugged terrain and model the ground beneath the canopy. This makes preliminary studies and project planning more accurate and efficient.

“Intermap's NEXTMap DTM data provides unique value to EDF’s hydro power development efforts, enabling the characterization of terrain for early development stages,” said Yann Marcilloux, EDF Project Leader.

“Hydro power has been a reliable source of clean energy for over a century and its potential for growth is immense,” said Patrick A. Blott, Intermap Chairman and CEO. “We are proud to enable and support development of hydro power in South America to harness its benefits and create a cleaner and more prosperous future. We are pleased to support EDF with its project development and look forward to future opportunities with EDF and other clean energy companies around the world.”

Hydro power is a clean, renewable energy source that harnesses the power of moving water to generate electricity and does not produce harmful emissions, making it an attractive alternative for powering homes, businesses and communities. In addition, hydro power offers critical benefits, including reliability, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, versatility and job creation, that make it an important component of South America’s energy mix. Intermap continues to grow its renewable energy business, supporting hydro, wind and solar projects across the world.
