Case Study: Pepco Holdings restores power faster during severe thunderstorms with StormGeo

The Secret to Three U.S. Utilities’ Success During Thunderstorm Season

Pepco Holdings, through its utilities Atlantic City Electric, Delmarva Power, and Pepco, needed better support to manage fast-changing thunderstorm and severe-weather threats that can drive outages and strain restoration crews. The company worked with StormGeo, using the StormGeo portal and meteorological support services to get timely weather guidance during high-risk events.

StormGeo provided hourly forecasts, real-time radar analysis, and direct access to forecasters, helping Pepco Holdings make faster crew-deployment decisions and improve storm planning. In one event, StormGeo’s guidance helped crews mobilize more quickly, saving hours of restoration time, and all customers in the impacted region were restored within 24 hours.
