Test Overstory on
your network more affordably than ever.
Join the Explorer mini-pilot to evaluate the potential of vegetation intelligence on your network. Test accuracy and get the support of the Overstory team to identify high-impact work to improve resilience, reliability, and operational efficiency.
Sign up by the end of the year to get analysis in Q1 of 2026.
What youโll get:
A clearer picture of your system: remote sensing shows and ranks vegetation on your networks and terrain
Confidence before a scaled rollout: use already-captured imagery for a low-risk trial
A smarter plan for 2026: workshop, field validation, and results by Q1 2026 to inform budgets and mitigation priorities
The most affordable way to test advanced vegetation intelligence: $10,000 for 100 miles
Our main goal is getting back from a 7-year cycle onto a 5-year cycle to manage high growth rates and labor costs, and we needed a partner who understood our unique challenges to do that. Overstory customized our risk framework to give us encroachment and hazard tree insights. Theyโve partnered with us to deliver very accurate results and they actually care about helping us put them to work.

Top 4 ways utilities use Overstoryโs vegetation intelligence
Cycle optimization
Determine when circuits should be trimmed to optimally improve reliability. If you canโt make it to all the circuits in your cycle, choose the ones most likely to improve your reliability.
Work quantification
Add transparency of volume, type, and location of work to bid packages, both internally and for potential external bidders, to get more accurate (and a higher volume of) bids.
Targeted risk identification
Identify risky conditions on circuits that may need to be addressed out of cycle. See strike trees, declining trees, and hazard trees individually or aggregated. Eliminate risky individual trees or combine with other work before an outage occurs.
Reporting and auditing
Measure and monitor changes in risk (reduction or increase) across your network between scans. Use risk reports to facilitate data-driven conversations with regulators, insurers, and executives.
How our technology works
We create vegetation data by combining AI with remote sensing sources like satellite and aerial imagery.
Then we combine that data with important local information like asset location, wildfire maps, terrain, and more.
And we use vegetation intelligence to help utilities build efficient, data-driven vegetation management programs.
