Our take
Utilities struggle with old infrastructure, which can cause long outages and increase wildfire risks. Current methods to address these issues are slow and costly, making it hard for utilities to keep up with necessary upgrades and risk management.
To tackle these problems, Gridware has created an affordable, easy-to-install technology that works with existing utility systems. It provides real-time data on infrastructure and wildfire risks, helping utilities reduce outages and spot potential wildfire threats easily.
Since launching, Gridware has expanded to five states and collected over one million hours of data. To support this growth, the company recently closed a successful funding round. With this financial support, Gridware is ready to help more widely improve utility reliability and wildfire prevention.
