Traditional utility vegetation management programs are ripe for reinvention. Tree contact with power lines account for more than 30% of power outages in North America. Also, vegetation management is one of a utility’s largest expenses.  When successfully leveraging modern technology, there is a huge opportunity to take significant waste and cost out of the process.  However, simply piloting or using the wrong technology will increase your costs and won’t decrease customer outages.

Join us on Thursday, November 18 at 11:00 am ET for a panel discussion hosted by Brian Hoff, VP, Product Management - Analytics at GE Digital’s Grid Software on Reinventing Vegetation Management. Brian will be joined by several industry experts including Iliana Rentz, Head of Vegetation Management at Florida Power and Light Company.

Hear how leading utilities are leveraging technology and reinventing their business processes. Industry experts will discuss the following:

• Why utilities are improving their inspection processes and survey data portfolio
• Which new technologies support this improvement
• What will happen if utilities don’t embrace this shift
• What you can do right now to take the first step in your journey to reinvent your vegetation management program
