Electric and water utilities must maintain grid stability and service continuity as rising ambient temperatures increase demand and strain aging infrastructure. Overheated substations, transformer failures, and water loss in distribution systems are becoming more frequent, yet utility monitoring often lacks the localized heat context necessary to anticipate such issues. Demand forecasting and asset prioritization remain reactive, causing energy losses and higher operational costs.
FortyGuard's Solution
FortyGuard’s Temperature API (starting at $79/month), part of our detailed heat analytics platform, provides utilities with continuous environmental intelligence measured at 2 meters above the ground with 10 m² spatial resolution. The API integrates with GIS and grid management systems, helping operators map thermal stress across substations, transmission corridors, and service areas. Advisory services assist in developing adaptive maintenance and investment strategies based on spatial heat data.
Value Creation
Cost Optimization – Reduces unplanned outages and maintenance inefficiencies through proactive grid management.
Commercial Uplift – Improves service reliability and supports the case for smart infrastructure investment.
Enablement – Delivers granular visibility to balance load, predict demand, and enhance resilience under extreme heat.
