Winter Storm Energy Impact Alert - Assess Power Outage Risk
Stay prepared for winter weather power disruptions with our energy impact assessment tool. Our algorithm evaluates multiple factors contributing to power outages: snowfall weight, ice formation probability, wind speed, temperature extremes, and storm duration to provide a risk rating from Low to Critical.
What is Energy Impact Alert?
Energy Impact Alert predicts power outage risk during winter storms. Get a risk score from 0-100 with ratings: LOW, MODERATE, HIGH, or CRITICAL. Prepare before the power goes out!
LOW
Power stable
MODERATE
Some risk
HIGH
Outages likely
CRITICAL
Prepare now
What Causes Power Outages During Winter Storms?
Strong Winds
Winds 50+ km/h can topple trees onto power lines and damage infrastructure
Heavy Snow & Ice
Ice accumulation and heavy wet snow on lines causes them to snap
Extreme Cold
High heating demand strains the grid, equipment can fail in extreme cold
Falling Trees
Trees weakened by snow load fall on power lines during storms
