What NDVI measures
NDVI compares reflected red and near-infrared light to estimate vegetation vigor.
Vegetation analytics
NDVI and utility vegetation monitoring.
NDVI is a satellite-derived index that helps estimate vegetation density and health.
NDVI utility vegetation
satellite vegetation monitoring
vegetation outage risk
How utilities use it
Utilities can use NDVI as one layer in vegetation management, corridor monitoring, and risk analysis.
Why NDVI matters for outage prediction
Dense or fast-growing vegetation can increase risk when combined with wind, ice, rain, and local outage history.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions for operators and planners.
Is NDVI enough to determine trimming priorities?
No. NDVI should be combined with field inspection, asset data, weather, and operational context.
How often should vegetation signals be refreshed?
Refresh cadence depends on satellite availability, cloud cover, growth season, and operational need.
