National Grid is using satellite imagery and data analytics to help boost the resilience of energy networks against the impacts of climate change. The Eye in the Sky initiative, led by National Grid and funded by Ofgem and Innovate UK's Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF), is exploring how the imagery and analytics could improve the visibility of Britain's electricity and gas network infrastructure, helping to monitor its condition – and changes to the surrounding environment – around the clock. National Grid aims to use the technology to strengthen energy networks' reliability and emergency response capabilities, with partners including the European Space Agency, Cranfield University, satellite data specialist Spottitt and expert in risk management and quality assurance DNV supporting the project's initial phases.
