Avangrid Launches an Innovative Power Grid Mapping Project Using Drones and AI

CMP, an Avangrid company, is inspecting all its distribution lines and equipment on public roads using AI to strengthen the grid and make it safer.

Avangrid, Iberdrola’s US company, is using the latest air and ground technology to build and plan a more reliable and safer grid. Using special vehicles and drones, Avangrid's Central Maine Power (CMP) distribution teams are inspecting all of the company's distribution lines on public roads to detect potential risks, make any necessary improvements and take preventive measures that increase the grid’s reliability and safety.

For the first time, with the help of artificial intelligence, the company will be able to quickly assess the more than 38,000 kilometres of lines to detect problems in utility equipment. This initiative will deploy drones and personnel on the ground to check it before taking the necessary steps to improve and repair the grid infrastructure.
