Case Study: National Grid reduces tree-related outages with AiDASH IVMS

National Grid cuts tree-related customer minutes interrupted by 55% with AiDash

National Grid, a multinational utility operating in New York and Massachusetts, faced significant challenges in managing vegetation across its extensive service area. Obstacles included rising operational costs, stringent regulatory requirements, and inadequate post-trim results that were impacting reliability and customer satisfaction. To modernize its operations, National Grid partnered with AiDash and implemented its Intelligent Vegetation Management System (IVMS).

AiDash's IVMS provided a satellite-first approach, enabling National Grid to shift from a fixed-cycle trimming schedule to a more efficient, condition-based model. This solution delivered substantial results, including a 30% reduction in tree-related events and $3 million in combined avoided costs and realized efficiencies. The partnership with AiDash allowed National Grid to optimize its vegetation management, improve reliability, and proactively adapt to changing climate conditions.
