The ongoing development and extensions of cities, as well as the requirement for large scale deployment of renewable energy sources and electro-mobility determine the transformation of current electrical grids towards smart grids. The increasing demand and the requirement for its reliable supply is imposing new planning challenges for the development of electrical networks. The present paper describes a method of optimizing the development of urban electricity networks, by selecting from a set of available locations, the positions and the size of new power sources, using a multistage model. Results can be useful to plan the installation of new power sources in an existing network (distributed sources, renewable sources for powering electric vehicles).
