Resilience by design.

The most comprehensive approach to investment planning for grid reliability and resilience.

The Challenge

More frequent and severe extreme weather events are creating unprecedented risk for the power grid.

In the U.S.:

3x

increase in extreme weather-related outage minutes over the last 10 years

$500B

electric utility investment gap for adequately addressing climate risks

$1T

annual power outage costs by 2040 absent aggressive grid hardening measures.

Platform

Align your 50-year grid investments with 50-year future risk profiles.

Track, monitor, and report on risk, reliability, resilience, and investment performance at system, feeder, and customer resolutions.

Our platform contains a menu of investments which can be analyzed for their resilience value on any location of the grid:

Vegetation Management
Asset replacements
Undergrounding

Line rebuilds
Reconductoring
Battery storage

Distribution automation devices
Non-wires alternatives
Hardening investments

Rhizome’s autonomous resilience models help track performance at both the system and customer levels

Helping electric utilities construct grid resilience plans from the bottom up, rooted on a foundation of peer-reviewed resilience frameworks and climate science.

Rhizome builds state-of-the-art 3D causal machine learning models to learn failure conditions from historical events, coupling with high-resolution climate projections to forecast future events and asset failures. Our planning platform is layered with decision intelligence capabilities that allows for high-confidence, seamless, and equitable planning of grid investments to maximize reliability and resilience.

A cloud-hosted AI platform Creates a Host of Advantages

Create a dynamic picture of climate-asset risk through autonomous ML-modeling to recommend the best possible investment decisions. Changes to the grid –– new asset conditions, new customer loads, and increased electrification –– can be monitored seamlessly.
Incorporate the latest climate models, projections, and scenarios to align long-term investment plans with long-term climate risk profiles.
Track the resilience and reliability performance of historical and new investments to further optimize hardening efforts over time.
Anticipate each customer’s experience related to power outage impacts and their ability to attain resources during extreme weather events.

High-resolution historical weather and climate projection data at your fingertips.

We enrich customer data sets to correlate asset failures with extreme weather and environmental conditions:
