Case Study: Holy Cross Energy improves wildfire mitigation and vegetation management with Overstory

Holy Cross Energy reduces wildfire risk and unnecessary trimming with Overstory

Holy Cross Energy, a utility in Western Colorado, partnered with Overstory to transition its vegetation management program from a cycle-based approach to a risk-informed one. Their challenge was to improve wildfire mitigation planning and reduce unnecessary trimming costs and disruptions for their members.

Using Overstory's satellite-derived vegetation intelligence, Holy Cross Energy can now identify specific hazard trees and areas requiring attention. This allows them to strategically trim only where necessary and avoid trimming in spans where it is not needed. The solution from Overstory has helped Holy Cross Energy reduce wildfire risk and costs while improving reliability for its members.
