From outage to insights: Three ways utilities can make the most of downtime
In this article, the CEO of Delta Energy, Scott Foster, examines why utilities excel at restoring power yet often miss opportunities to learn from the restoration process itself. Drawing on the fragmented data trails left behind by outages spanning OMS, SCADA, AMI, crew logs, and weather systems, the article explores how disconnected systems and manual analysis prevent meaningful insight. To close this gap, the piece outlines three ways utilities can turn every outage into a learning opportunity: embedding post-event analytics into planning, unifying operational and planning data, and standardizing post-event analysis so the grid becomes more resilient after every storm, outage, and near miss.
