We’re here to build a more resilient future.

Rhizome helps utilities plan smarter for climate resilience. We combine AI and climate science with real understanding of how utilities work—because grid resilience isn't just about technology, it's about keeping the lights on for communities when they need power most.

Our platform turns complex climate and asset data into defensible investment strategies that keep the grid running during climate extremes and stay ahead of ignition risks.

Our team

Our team brings together deep utility-sector expertise, advanced AI technology, and climate science to serve as your strategic partners in resilience. We're passionate about empowering utilities to strengthen and protect communities through smarter grid planning—ensuring systems can withstand climate impacts and continue serving those who depend on them most.

If the grid can be 99.9% reliable, we think your partners should be too.
