Electric Utilities Face
Escalating Vegetation Risks
Vegetation has always been a challenge for electric utilities, but climate change, extreme weather, and aging networks are amplifying the risks. Outages, wildfires, and regulatory scrutiny are increasing, and cycle-based vegetation management can’t keep up. Without continuous visibility, utilities face growing operational, financial, and compliance pressure.

Growing Risks, Shrinking Margins
Fixed inspection schedules leave long periods where vegetation hazards accumulate unchecked. In an era of hotter, drier conditions and longer fire seasons, those blind spots expose utilities to outages, ignitions, and costly emergency interventions.

Shrinking Resources, Rising Demands
Utilities are under pressure to do more with less. Limited crews, budget constraints, and scarce contractor availability make inefficient patrols and manual inspections even more costly, sending teams where they may not be needed while missing emerging risks elsewhere.
Stricter Regulations, Higher Liability
Regulators and insurers demand auditable proof of proactive vegetation management. Fragmented contractor data and paper-based reports can’t meet that bar, leaving utilities vulnerable to fines, legal exposure, and reputational damage.

From Reactive Risk Response to
Proactive Grid Resilience
Treeline helps utilities move beyond short-term vegetation risk response toward long-term resilience. By combining satellite data, AI, and customer-provided datasets, Treeline delivers a unified, system-wide view of vegetation risk. That means utilities can detect threats earlier, prioritize smarter, plan based on conditions rather than rigid cycles, and stay audit-ready, all while optimizing budgets and improving reliability.
Reduce Risk
Gain early visibility into vegetation threats before they cause outages, wildfires, or compliance violations. Detect fall-in, grow-in, and hazard trees across the full network, incorporate external risk factors like fire zones, and prioritize spans by criticality and proximity to enhance grid safety and reliability.
Save Money
Focus resources where they matter most. Treeline helps optimize vegetation budgets by reducing unnecessary patrols, cutting over-servicing, and aligning trim cycles to actual conditions. Utilities can leverage data to support rate cases, reduce OPEX, and maximize value from existing datasets.
Move Faster
Turn insight into execution in a single flow. With Treeline, utilities can create data-backed work orders directly from risk detection, align contractors with clear priorities, and track regrowth and performance. Learnings feed into multi-year planning, making each cycle more efficient than the last.
The Platform Built for Utility Vegetation Management
From detecting vegetation threats to generating audit-ready reports, Treeline brings every part of utility vegetation management into one platform. Designed for grid-scale operations, it helps utilities cut outages and wildfire risk, deploy resources more effectively, and stay compliant, all with fewer manual steps and greater transparency.
Detect Vegetation Threats Before They Disrupt Your Network
Treeline uses satellite imagery and AI to automatically detect grow-in, fall-in, and hazard trees across your grid. Gain continuous span-level visibility beyond the ROW to act earlier, cut outages, and move from reactive patrols to predictive planning.

Plan Smarter Trims With Data-Backed Risk Scoring
Treeline scores every span, feeder, and system using a multi-factor risk model based on vegetation type, proximity, health, and asset criticality. With color-coded dashboards and exportable work items, you can target the highest-risk spans first, defend budgets with confidence, and align crews around what matters most.
Turn Vegetation Risk Into Actionable Work
Treeline converts vegetation insights into map-based work orders with full context, routing, and built-in QA. Crews get clear instructions, supervisors see real-time progress, and every job is verified with timestamped, GPS-tagged proof, keeping field and planning teams aligned from assignment to audit.
Clear, Defensible Reporting for Every Span, Crew, and Cycle
Treeline automates compliance reporting with dashboards, evidence packaging, and export-ready reports tied directly to span-level work. From geo-tagged photos to audit trails, you get verifiable proof of every action, saving hours of manual effort while strengthening trust with regulators, contractors, and stakeholders.
Protect Your Grid. Prevent Outages and Wildfires.
Vegetation shouldn’t put your network, or your reputation, at risk. Treeline helps electric utilities detect hazards before they escalate, optimize limited resources, and stay audit-ready, so you can deliver reliable power while reducing liability and costs.
