Overstory
Overstory offers actionable vegetation intelligence for safer, more reliable power. Vegetation is the single greatest contributor to power outages and wildfires caused by our electric grid. Our software helps electric utilities make smarter decisions about the vegetation around their transmission and distribution corridors, optimizing resources
and improving grid resilience. By combining artificial intelligence with remote sensing data, we can show utilities where to direct pruning efforts to optimize operations and maintenance programs, mitigate vegetation risk, and future-proof their networks. This allows us to minimize the risk of wildfires and power outages, protecting our grid, our communities, and our planet.
