FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Data and analytics as the foundation for resilience in power distribution
Boston, MA & Broomfield, CO — September 19, 2025 — ClimaTwin®, the Climate Risk Intelligence™ company, and ikeGPS (IKE), the PoleOS™ Company, today announced the release of a co-authored white paper, A Guide to Reducing Risk in Grid Asset Management: How to Leverage Data and Analytics to Overcome Emerging Risks and Unlock Opportunities in Power Distribution.
The white paper provides utility executives and engineers with a practical framework for tackling climate-related risks, aging infrastructure, and increasing regulatory pressures. By integrating ClimaTwin’s asset-level climate modeling and financial risk analysis with IKE’s PoleOS™ field data and structural analysis solutions, the report shows how utilities can turn complex challenges into targeted, predictive actions.
“We believe in the concept of non-stationarity—the future will not look like the past,” said Adam Omansky, CEO of ClimaTwin. “This paper demonstrates how utilities can continuously assess vulnerability, connect exposure to financial risk, and make smarter, more resilient investment choices.”
“The volatility in weather impacts how utilities design, construct, and maintain their assets,” added Brett Willitt, Senior Vice President of Product at IKE. “Traditionally, utilities treated their networks as homogeneous. What we’re enabling now is a micro lens – a more granular understanding of asset states, so that capital and O&M investment decisions are smarter and more targeted.”
The white paper explores the physical, financial, and regulatory challenges utilities face as extreme weather events become more frequent and intense. It explains how climate and operational risks are changing outage patterns and financial stability, and how structural analysis can spot weak points in overhead networks before they break. It emphasizes the use of advanced simulation and digital twins for stress-testing assets against future climate scenarios and discusses how AI and machine learning enable predictive maintenance, visual inspections, and vegetation risk analytics on a large scale.
The paper also examines the increasing focus on return on investment and regulatory compliance. It states that resilience investments provide significant returns by lowering outage costs, preventing catastrophic failures, and meeting new standards set by regulators and investors. By combining climate science, engineering, and financial analysis, the co-authored paper shows that utilities can shift from reactive maintenance to predictive resilience strategies, leading to better system performance and stronger economic results.
Utilities face mounting financial, operational, and reputational risks as climate extremes intensify, and the white paper underscores that delaying investment is no longer viable. With actionable tools from ClimaTwin and IKE, utilities can prioritize high-risk assets, justify capital programs, and safeguard communities.
The white paper is now available from both ClimaTwin and IKE. Executives and engineering leaders are invited to request a briefing and demonstration of how the integrated workflow—from field data capture to climate-aware risk scoring—can be applied to their networks.
