Built for utilities to predict, plan, and respond to storms
Discover how AI-powered predictive intelligence can enhance your storm prediction accuracy and preparedness. Our machine learning models use hundreds of variables and data points to forecast and restore power outages, optimize crew dispatch, and improve worker safety.
GridInform Storm Insight is 30% more accurate than traditional prediction methods, helping utilities confidently create data-driven strategies throughout the storm lifecycle:
- Before the storm: Get consistent predictions with a comprehensive risk profile and proactive storm planning to minimize downtime, assess outages, and repair infrastructure.
- During the storm: Use storm close tracking to plan work crews and model forecasts to restore outages, calculating ETR and estimated time of arrival (ETA) based on predictions.
- After the storm: Track restoration progress, visualize and adjust crew mobilization in real-time, request mutual assistance, and analyze events for data-driven decisions.
