[QGIS-Developer] Seeking QGIS energy/utilities workflows & linear referencing use cases

[Josh Otwell]

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.
