System Awareness and Outage Event Preparedness
An advanced analytics framework that supports organizational readiness for weather related events. By analyzing historical outage data, weather patterns, system characteristics, and response metrics, the program provides enhanced visibility into grid conditions ahead of major events. These insights help operations teams identify areas that may require closer monitoring, optimize resource readiness, and improve Estimated Time of Restoration (ETR) communications for customers.
