According to the US Department of Energy (DOE), power outages cost more than $150 billion each year. Therefore, it’s critical for utilities to maintain safety and convenience for their customers and their bottom line. You cannot avoid winter weather, so what can be done? How can your utility successfully weather the storm? Storm Impact Analysis is one tool that has been proven to better plan staffing and power restoration with specific predictions.

When extreme weather strikes, utilities must jump into action and ensure power restoration as quickly as possible. The risk is ever-present and ever-growing as climate change, and rising customer expectations become more common. During a storm, the problem quickly comes into focus: the severe weather. While weather intelligence is vital to optimizing your response and is a large piece of the puzzle, it is only one piece.

Using blockchain technology, real-time weather data can be readily accessed and is driving renewed interest in parametric insurance.

When facing a storm, machine learning can be the difference between storm damage and storm preparedness. As utilities head into storm season, machine learning can help them better position themselves to handle storms of all kinds coming their way. The result is a better-prepared organization that minimizes damage during storms! In addition, your power restoration process will be more efficient, which means safer and happier customers.

While you cannot prevent power outages, how you react will go a long way towards putting your consumers’ minds at ease and maintaining that customer relationship. Of course, optimizing your power restoration process begins with the correct data. Storm Impact Analytics allows you to know where extreme weather will hit your area and how hard, allowing you to quickly respond and get the right resources in place.
