How one Fortune 500 utility uses vegetation analytics to support wildfire mitigation

With a network of transmission and distribution lines covering a vast wildfire-prone region, this utility faced challenges with reliability and cost using traditional assessment methods. Overstory partnered with them to implement configurable risk frameworks and perform pole and line adjustments that would facilitate more accurate vegetation and risk assessments.

The utility is now able to convert vegetation risks into optimized trimming plans, verified for accuracy by third-party arborists, that prioritize trimming in areas across their territory that pose the highest wildfire and reliability risk.

“We’ve done the verification and the results are spot on.”
