Vegetation Control in Photovoltaic Plants, Wind Farms, and Substations to Minimize Fire Risk

Context

Vegetation overgrowth in photovoltaic plants, wind farms, and substations increases operational risks, especially fire hazards. Current vegetation control methods can be costly, labor-intensive, and lack real-time monitoring.

Opportunity

Smarter vegetation management can significantly reduce fire risk, lower maintenance costs, and improve asset reliability. Technologies that automate detection or optimize clearing activities can enhance safety and operational continuity.

What are we looking for

Innovative solutions for monitoring, predicting, or controlling vegetation growth around energy assets. This may include sensing systems, AI-based assessment tools, or automated/efficient clearing methods that help maintain safe vegetation levels and prevent fire incidents.
