Neara builds a physics-enabled digital twin that creates a geometrically accurate 3D model of an electric utility's entire network, combining asset, vegetation, weather and terrain data. Utilities use the platform to simulate wind, ice, thermal and flood stress on infrastructure, plan vegetation management, and assess wildfire and storm risk. The company says its customers include SA Power Networks, Endeavour Energy, ESB Networks, CenterPoint Energy, Oncor and Xcel Energy across four continents. Neara reports one utility customer used the platform to defer pole replacements from 25,000 down to 4,000.
