“By leveraging satellite and LiDAR, we're improving the quality and consistency of inspections while reducing the volume of patrols, lowering contractor reliance and enhancing safety in the field. Taken together, these changes are expected to deliver $24 million in annual O&M savings this year alone.”

“over that same 5-quarter period, early detection of stressed equipment helped us save an estimated $8 million of capital spend through lower cost repairs and over $1 million in expense by reducing time spent responding to emergency asset failures.”

“Since the beginning of last year, we've had 1,484 good catches where sensor data flagged developing weaknesses or active events on the grid. 23 of these could have become ignitions but didn't.”

“Continuous monitoring helped us avoid approximately 12 million unplanned customer outage minutes in 2025 and another 4 million minutes in the first quarter of 2026.”

“Continuous monitoring is also improving how our teams work in the field. More precise diagnostics mean our troubleshooter spend less time searching for problems and more time fixing them, improving both productivity and safety.”

“Continuous monitoring uses sensors, our smart meters, analytics and machine learning models to identify emerging issues on the system before they turn into outages, ignitions or safety events.”

“this continuous monitoring application to our grid is extraordinary. I cannot overstate how exciting it is to us here at the company to look at the potential of being able to move from a reactive grid operations to proactive grid operations with visibility, knowledge and forethought before conditions materialize.”
