Media Advisory: PGE Hosts Wildfire Mitigation Technology Briefing - 07/31/24

What: Portland General Electric (PGE) will host a virtual press briefing to the leading-edge technologies currently being employed as part of its wildfire mitigation strategy. The briefing will feature key speakers from PGE and technology industry leaders from Pano AI and IND Technology.

In addition to providing an inside look into its 2024 Wildfire Mitigation Plan, PGE will announce expanding its use of Pano AI's artificial intelligence-powered camera stations to enhance wildfire monitoring across the Portland area. These cameras provide continuous 360-degree coverage to detect and alert on smoke, significantly reducing response times and improving safety for first responders. 

Additionally, IND Technology’s early fault detection (EFD) sensor technology will be highlighted, demonstrating how it proactively locates and mitigates ignition hazards on power lines.

When: Wednesday, August 7, 10-11 a.m. PT

Where: Virtual event. Please RSVP to this email to confirm attendance. A link will be sent in advance of the scheduled time.

Details:

  • PGE 2024 Wildfire Mitigation Plan: Senior Manager Wildfire Planning & Analytics, Dan Nunez, will review technologies and investments currently being employed by PGE as part of its wildfire mitigation plan.
  • Pano AI: CEO and Co-Founder, Sonia Kastern, will discuss technology features designed to enhance daytime and nighttime wildfire monitoring capabilities.
  • IND Technology: Head of North American Operations, Andrew Ball, will explain the workings and benefits of early fault detection (EFD) technology in high fire risk areas.
  • Expansion Announcement: PGE will announce the expansion of camera coverage and the launch of new Pano camera stations in the Portland area, and the ongoing expansion of EFD on PGE distribution networks.

Why: As wildfire threats continue to rise, it is crucial to implement and understand the latest technologies that can help prevent and mitigate these dangers. This briefing aims to provide insights into the proactive measures PGE and other industry leaders are taking to protect communities and the environment.
