INSPECTION · ANALYTICS · ENGINEERING FOR THE ELECTRIC GRID

All your utility data on one secure platform you own — twin, analytics, and engineering on top.

Clear Horizon Energy un-silos your SCADA, MDM, CIS, GIS, and EAM data into one secure, utility-owned platform — then builds the digital twin, runs technical and financial analysis, and lets your teams work the data in the tools they already use.

The data platform

All your utility data, un-siloed — on a platform you own

SCADA, MDM, CIS, GIS, EAM, and other systems each hold part of the picture. We bring them into one secure platform — curated and documented — so your teams can finally use the data together. The twin, our analysis, and your own dashboards all run on it.

Un-silo your systems

Operations, customer, asset, work, and financial systems unified into one model instead of a dozen disconnected exports.

You own the data

The platform and its data belong to the utility — portable, exportable, and yours to keep.

Curated + documented

Cleaned, normalized, and organized into a reusable data dictionary your teams can build on.

Your teams, your tools

Analysts, engineers, operations, and finance work in Power BI, Tableau, QuickSight, Grafana, Python, or SQL.

Your data, no lock-in

Every study and inspection you buy from us lands on your platform and stays there. Walk away tomorrow and the curated data, the data dictionary, and the apps your teams have built are still yours.

Any format in — we do the ETL

The grid twin

On top of the platform: a living digital twin of your grid.

One model of the whole network — how it's wired and what's hanging on it, from the substation out to the last transformer. Inspection populates it, the analysis engine runs on it, and engineering draws from it. Like everything on the platform, it's yours.

Connectivity

Phase, topology, and switching — built from your connectivity model (Milsoft-compatible).

Assets

Poles, conductors, transformers, and hardware — located, attributed, and condition-scored.

Poles & structures

Location, class, framing, lean, and loading from LiDAR and imagery.

classheightlean°loading

Conductors

Span, size, sag, clearance, and splice condition along the corridor.

sizespansagclearance

Transformers

Rating, phase, load, and a thermal/condition score for failure-risk ranking.

kVAphaseloadhealth

Switches & protection

Device type, state, and coordination role in the connectivity model.

What we do

Three services, one platform

Inspection, analytics, and engineering are three ways of working the same twin. Start with any one; they compound when you combine them.

Inspection

Field data that resolves the defects other programs miss, fed straight into your twin as located, attributed findings.

Transformer & hardware condition
Corrosion, cracking & hotspots
Vegetation & clearance
Survey-grade LiDAR & land survey

UAS · LiDAR · 50MP+ RGB · IR/thermal

Grid Analytics

Real power-system modeling on the twin — not a dashboard of averages — with the financial analysis alongside.

Load flow & voltage studies
Hosting capacity & interconnection
Asset health scoring
Rate, cost & investment analysis

Runs on the live twin

Engineering

Engineering that starts where the survey ends — same geometry, same data, no re-survey and no hand-off gap.

Structural & clearance analysis
As-built & design support
Hardening & rebuild planning
Communications & SCADA design
GIS & mapping deliverables

Findings trace to an exact frame, point, or asset

Analytics & modeling

Real power-system analysis, run on your twin

Load flow, voltage, and hosting-capacity studies on a model we build and keep current from your data — so you get the answers without owning the modeling software or its upkeep. The same platform holds your financial data, so cost, rate, and investment analysis runs alongside the technical work. Blinks and sustained interruptions are read as diagnostic signals about network health.

Real networks, real data

The platform runs today on live cooperative data — not mock-ups.

Electric cooperative · Inspection + digital twin

A live twin built from the co-op's own engineering and GIS data

~152Kdrone photos tied to assets

~42KGIS assets across 31 substations

~320Knodes & edges in the connectivity graph

The network model was built from the cooperative's WindMil export and validated against its GIS. Every inspection photo — RGB and infrared — is linked to the asset it shows and its place in the network, with LiDAR available in an interactive viewer.

Electric cooperative · LiDAR + imagery inspection

2,000 miles of line, inspected in very rugged terrain

2,000 miof line inspected

LiDAR + imagerycaptured along the full corridor

Clear Horizon carried out LiDAR and imagery inspection across roughly 2,000 miles of line through very rugged terrain — the kind of corridor that's slow, costly, and risky to patrol on the ground.
