Why Use Our Services?

Unanticipated incidents have predictable consequences. When constructing a new power system or updating an existing system, it is important to take into consideration real world events that have caused major losses of power in the past. From squirrels chewing through poorly placed electrical tape to technological breakdowns due to human error, overlooked details lead to consequential incidents. Consequences range from neighborhood blackouts to wide area voltage collapse and to public relation nightmares.

With our expert knowledge and practical experience, Prescient can recommend advanced methods to help utility companies avoid potential causes of service disruption.
