Neara, an Australian startup, is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence to enhance the resilience of utility networks against the escalating threats of extreme weather. By creating detailed digital models of power networks, Neara's AI and machine learning tools enable energy providers to simulate and mitigate the impacts of natural disasters like wildfires, floods, and storms without the need for costly manual inspections. Since its commercial launch in 2019, Neara has attracted significant investment and collaborated with major utility companies worldwide, leveraging technologies such as LiDAR to achieve unprecedented modeling accuracy. This innovation not only speeds up power restoration efforts but also ensures the safety of utility teams and reduces weather-related damages.
