Hello QGIS Developers, I’m looking for input on additional QGIS + Python use cases that are especially valuable in the energy/utilities sector, beyond the GIS/GDB editing and general geoprocessing I’m already doing.
My goal is to avoid a “tool-first” mindset and instead understand where QGIS truly shines (or where plugins / PyQGIS automation can add the most leverage) for linear infrastructure workflows—pipelines, electric lines, fiber, and related asset data. In particular, I’m very interested in linear referencing approaches where point features can be automatically ordered and assigned stationing/measure values along a line or route. If there are established patterns, recommended plugins, or PyQGIS examples you’ve found reliable for this, I’d appreciate any pointers. More broadly, I’d welcome examples of: - Common utility/energy workflows where QGIS + PyQGIS provides a strong advantage - Automation patterns you’ve seen work well for QA/QC, reporting, or data synchronization - Any pitfalls or “gotchas” you’d suggest I watch for when building scripted workflows Thanks in advance for any guidance or references you can share.
