The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Perform utility network planning is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.

Why: Because no child occupations are seeded, the scalar is derived directly from the APQC process name and industry lens. 'Perform utility network planning' within Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution is inherently analytical knowledge work. Even though the resulting utility operations involve physical infrastructure, the planning phase relies on data modeling, geospatial mapping, and capacity simulation, making the core process heavily digital.

Business-as-Code

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Perform utility network planning sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Perform utility network planning inherits.

How the work flows

Trigger: A periodic infrastructure review cycle, shifting regional load forecasts, or requests to integrate new power generation sources initiate the planning process.

  1. Gather historical load data and future demand forecasts
  2. Assess current network capacity and physical constraints
  3. Simulate power flow and grid performance under various scenarios
  4. Identify required expansions, asset upgrades, and topology changes
  5. Evaluate the economic and regulatory feasibility of proposed projects
  6. Develop and prioritize a multi-year capital investment plan
  7. Obtain stakeholder and regulatory approval for network modifications

Outcome: A multi-year network development plan is finalized and approved for capital allocation and engineering execution.
