Stay ahead of winter storms with DTN weather intelligence
When snow, ice, and wind threaten reliability, DTN helps you see what is coming, understand how it will affect your assets, and act with confidence. Explore nine ways our solutions support safer crews and faster restoration all winter long.
9 ways DTN supports winter weather readiness
From impact-based forecasting to integrated outage analytics, DTN gives utilities the insight they need to protect crews, reduce interruptions, and restore power quickly when winter weather hits.
Impact-based insight
Predict weather impacts before they disrupt operations
Move beyond “what” the weather will be to “so what” for your grid. Impact-based forecasts show how snow, ice, and wind are likely to affect specific circuits, substations, and regions so you can prepare proactively.
Real-time visibility
Monitor storms and outages in real time
Combine live weather intelligence with outage and asset data in shared dashboards. Operators and field leaders see where conditions are worsening and where restoration resources are needed most.
Hyperlocal detail
Gain hyperlocal, asset-specific insights
Substation- and feeder-level views help you pinpoint vulnerable infrastructure and prioritize inspections, vegetation management, and capital projects based on risk, not guesswork.
Crew safety
Protect crews with location-based safety alerts
GPS-enabled alerts warn crews when lightning, freezing rain, or high winds approach their location and send all-clear notifications once conditions improve—supporting safety policies in the field.
Predictive analytics
Use predictive analytics to optimize crew deployment
Machine-learning outage models estimate where winter storms are most likely to cause damage. You can pre-stage crews, materials, and mutual-assistance partners closer to high-risk areas to shorten restoration times.
System integration
Integrate weather intelligence with operational systems
DTN APIs connect with OMS, DMS, GIS, and enterprise systems so planners, dispatchers, and executives all work from the same view of risk, outages, and restoration progress.
Expert guidance
Support decisions with expert briefings
During high-impact winter events, DTN meteorologists provide briefings tailored to your territory and operations. Their guidance helps align teams on likely scenarios and response plans.
Continuous improvement
Turn post-storm data into future readiness
Archived storm analytics reveal how your grid and response performed. Use these insights to strengthen regulatory filings, cost recovery, and long-term reliability programs.
Repeatable playbook
Standardize your winter readiness playbook
Combine DTN insights, alerts, and analytics into repeatable, data-driven winter-readiness plans that can be refined each season—so every storm benefits from the lessons of the last.
