(On-Demand) From cycles to risk-based planning: A smarter approach to vegetation management

Vegetation remains a major challenge for grid reliability, yet traditional cycle-based programs don't always direct resources to where the risk is greatest. How can grid operators move toward a smarter, more targeted approach?

In this webinar, StormGeo and Norwegian DSO Lede explores how satellite imagery, AI and weather intelligence can provide a clearer understanding of vegetation risk across the network. 

In this recorded discussion, you will learn how these insights can support risk-based planning, help prioritise inspections and maintenance, and focus resources where they can have the greatest impact.

Drawing on its own experience, Lede will share practical insights into adopting this approach and how it identified NOK 5.5 million (€500,000) in projected annual efficiency gains.

Join us to learn how to move beyond traditional cycles, build a more proactive vegetation management strategy, and turn vegetation intelligence into better operational planning.
