Through Water and Darkness: Maintaining Grid Visibility During Hurricane Helene
Tantalus Systems’ software helped BrightRidge Electric manage the dual threat of massive wind damage and catastrophic flooding by restoring real‑time visibility across its distribution grid during Hurricane Helene. The platform provided centralised outage data, asset status, and crew locations, enabling dispatchers to prioritise repairs, optimise routing, and coordinate with regional partners like Erwin Utilities. Automated alerts and condition‑based insights allowed crews to respond faster and restore power more efficiently, even as circuits were washed out. By turning scattered information into a unified operational picture, Tantalus strengthened situational awareness, accelerated restoration, and supported safer, more coordinated storm response across the northern and southern territori
