EGM’s Meta-Alert® Solution empowers utilities with advanced line-sensor technology and real-time analytics to detect potential ignition sources early. By enabling rapid response and enhancing situational awareness across the grid, Meta-Alert® reduces wildfire risk, protects critical infrastructure, and helps safeguard communities.
Utilities face several challenges as they address an increasing number of outages. About 83% of major U.S. power outages between 2000 and 2021 were driven by weather-related events, according to Climate Central. As customers grapple with these rising power interruptions, 65% report that they’re frustrated with utilities’ impersonal communications. However, utilities can now address this communications challenge by taking advantage of AI. Rather than simply reacting to outages as they happen, power providers can embrace intelligent, customized, and proactive messaging that humanizes these crises for their customers.
