PROBLEMS WE SOLVE Utility storm response

Extreme weather events cost U.S. customers over $150 billion and cause over 500 deaths per year. How are you anticipating and responding to these existential threats to utility infrastructure?

THE CHALLENGE Anticipating and responding to storms

Major storms—whether wind, snow, ice, flooding or hurricanes—can topple transmission and distribution lines, damage substations and overwhelm aging infrastructure. As extreme weather increases, utilities face escalating operational and financial risks. 

  • Rising outage frequency: Weather-driven power outages have increased dramatically, straining crews and emergency response systems.  
  • Higher storm severity: Some of the most damaging storms in history have occurred in just the past five years, affecting hundreds of thousands of customers per event.  
  • Record-breaking disaster costs: Recent years have seen unprecedented numbers of billion-dollar weather disasters, highlighting the financial exposure utilities face.  

As storms intensify, utilities are challenged to anticipate where they’ll impact their infrastructure and respond quickly and efficiently to get services back online.
