Technosylva Expands Weather Risk Platform for Utility Storm Preparedness

Technosylva announced in a press release the expansion of its Multi-Hazard Operations platform to include new storm preparedness and restoration capabilities for electric utilities. The platform, which builds on Technosylva's wildfire modeling technology, now provides predictive outage analytics and restoration management tools that forecast weather-related grid impacts up to five days in advance.

The expanded system enables utilities to estimate customer outages, identify likely causes of damage, and plan resource allocation for restoration efforts. It uses models trained on thousands of historical weather events and has demonstrated average prediction accuracy of 82 percent across storm types, reaching 99 percent for large-scale windstorm events.

As part of its grid reliability initiative, CenterPoint Energy has deployed the new platform. Since becoming available to other utilities in April, several have agreed to adopt the system. The platform's predictive capability improves as more utilities contribute operational data, enhancing accuracy and supporting shared learning across participating organizations.
