Vegetation Management for Electric Utilities

Overstory helps energy companies to mitigate wildfires and power outages. Improving the safety and reliability of the transmission and distribution system and reducing grid operation cost.

Real-time

By extracting insights from a high variety of very high spatial and temporal resolution satellite data sources, including multi- and hyperspectral imagery, SAR and video. 

Predictive

By applying AI algorithms specialized in trees and vegetation, predicting grow-in and fall-in risks based on species, growth, weather & climate, and vitality.

Actionable

By facilitating predictive planning, tracking and verifying trimming cycles by contractors, and timely reports on Vegetation Management KPIs.

Products & features

Risk tracker

Based on the vegetation data layers combined with wire zone and border zone, a risk identification is provided. Fall-in risk and grow-in risks are both identified.

Priority tracker

Prioritization of the risk areas based on estimated likelihood and potential consequence. Priorities are color coded and can be easily integrated with trimming schedules.

Tree detection

Tree species

Tree height

Canopy segmentation

Proximity to power line and wire zone
