Resilience
by design.

The most comprehensive
approach to investment planning for grid reliability and resilience.

The Challenge

More frequent and severe extreme weather events are creating unprecedented risk for the power grid.

In the U.S.:

3x

increase in extreme weather-related outage minutes over the last 10 years

$500B

electric utility investment gap for adequately addressing climate risks

$1T

annual power outage costs by 2040 absent aggressive grid hardening measures.

Platform

Align your 50-year grid investments with 50-year future risk profiles.

Track, monitor, and report on risk, reliability, resilience, and investment performance at system, feeder, and customer resolutions.

Only platform contains a menu of investments which can be analyzed for their resilience value on any location of the grid:
Vegetation Management
Asset replacements
Undergrounding
Line rebuilds
Reconductoring
Battery Storage
Distribution automation devices
Non-wire alternatives
Hardening investments

Rhizome's autonomous resilience models help track performance at both the system and customer levels

A cloud-hosting AI platform Creates a Host of Advantages

Create a dynamic picture of climate-asset risk through autonomous ML-modeling to recommend the best possible investment decisions. Changes to the grid - new asset conditions, new customer loads, and increased electrification - can be monitored seamlessly.
Incorporate the latest climate models, projections, and scenarios to align long-term investment plans with long-term climate risk profiles.
Track the resilience and reliability performance of historical and new investments to further optimize hardening efforts over time.
Anticipate each customer's experience related to power outage impacts and their ability to attain resources during extreme weather events.

High-resolution historical weather and climate projection data at your fingertips

We enrich customer data sets to correlate asset failures with extreme weather and environmental conditions:
