This contribution outlines an automated planning tool for distribution networks. It supports the decision making in the strategic network planning as external factors, such as decentral generation, are gaining a stronger influence. The methodology as well as required input and output parameters are explained. The genetic algorithm used to find the most cost-effective reinforcement plan is detailed. It considers conventional technologies, such as new lines and transformers, as well as innovative
