Iberdrola says it has selected ICEYE to help strengthen its electricity network against extreme weather by using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite data and near real-time analytics. The company says the approach is intended to improve preparedness for events such as floods, fires and strong winds, including earlier anticipation of risks. Iberdrola also states that the system will support faster assessment of damage after incidents, with the goal of reducing impacts on electricity supply.
The solution is planned to be piloted in Spain. Iberdrola frames the project as part of efforts to improve network resilience by obtaining information relevant to weather-driven disruptions and responding more quickly when conditions deteriorate or when damage occurs.
The announcement comes through PR Newswire and describes the selection, the intended use of SAR satellites and near real-time data, and the geographic scope of an initial pilot in Spain. It does not provide additional details on timelines, specific technologies beyond SAR and near real-time data, or performance metrics.
