Iceye is now supporting the utility and energy sectors with its disaster response solutions. Iceye plans to offer utilities and energy organizations the ability to access near real-time natural disaster insights to better understand the impact on utility and energy customers. 

The company said Tuesday that existing clients include a U.S.-based water management district, a U.K.-based water authority, and Ergon Energy in Australia. Iceye reported that its data supported U.S. utilities after Hurricane Helene to assess substation damage and restore power.

“As extreme weather and aging infrastructure strain utility systems, near real-time satellite data is essential for faster, smarter decision-making and response,” said Andy Read, Vice President of Government Solutions at Iceye. “Our solutions accelerate response team deployment, expedite damage assessments, and help maintain service continuity by minimizing downtime.”

The company said its synthetic aperture radar (SAR) solutions can provide utility operators with situational awareness, data for pre-staging and resource allocation, critical infrastructure impact analysis, and model validation and resilience planning.
