TVA turns to LiDAR to keep transmission lines clear
Original: New LiDAR technology helps TVA keep transmission lines clear and power on
The Tennessee Valley Authority is using new LiDAR technology to survey and manage vegetation along its transmission line corridors. By mapping terrain and tree growth with laser scans, the utility can identify where growth threatens lines and trim proactively, reducing outage risks and improving grid reliability across its service area.
Why now: Utilities' adoption of LiDAR for grid maintenance highlights how technology is being used to prevent weather- and vegetation-related power outages.
