    Project Details

    Malfunctioning power lines, in combination with extreme weather conditions, contribute to some of the most devastating wildfires, underscoring the urgent need for solutions. In response to these challenges, Overstory collaborates with electric utilities in Europe and the US to help them manage vegetation near power lines effectively and reduce the risk of ignitions. With PlanetScope and SkySat imagery, it is possible to lower the risk of power outages and wildfires. This proactive approach to vegetation management relies on predictive insights and real-time information to mitigate potential issues.
