E Source develops groundbreaking data science applications that change the way utilities understand and manage their networks. We tackle challenging projects like optimizing vegetation management strategies and forecasting the impact of severe weather on utility networks. To conduct these projects, we use a combination of machine learning models, inference-based statistics, and remote-sensing applications. Each project or product is collaboratively developed in-house by a data science team of diverse professional backgrounds and domain expertise. Ultimately, our work helps utilities enhance their electric reliability and prepare to adopt and deploy cutting-edge green energy technology.
