How Lidar is Transforming Energy & Utility Management

The energy and utilities sector is in the midst of rapid, disruptive change. Urbanization is driving up demand in population centers, the growth of artificial intelligence is increasing energy consumption, and maintaining consistent and reliable power is vital for communities’ safety in a changing climate. At the same time, the shift toward sustainability is transforming how energy is generated and delivered. Together, these forces are placing unprecedented pressure on infrastructure, demanding new workflows and more innovation.

To deal with all of these changes, organizations are turning to new technologies to streamline this work. That includes lidar, whose capabilities are being used to inspect existing power infrastructure more efficiently. This and other technologies are opening up new potential opportunities for lidar specialists. For those service providers, it’s important to know the needs, concerns, and goals of the leaders within this space.
