MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DTN, a global data and technology company, today announced the launch of DTN Weather Hub for Utilities, a next-generation platform designed to help electric and gas utilities anticipate weather-driven risk, protect crews and assets, reduce outages, and accelerate restoration through faster, more confident operational decisions.
As climate volatility drives more frequent and severe weather events, including high winds, extreme heat, winter storms, flooding, lightning, and wildfires, utilities face growing pressure to maintain grid reliability, ensure worker safety, and minimize customer outages. DTN Weather Hub addresses this challenge by translating weather intelligence into operational insights that utilities can act on before, during, and after high-impact events.
DTN Weather Hub provides a centralized, operational view of weather risk across service territories, assets, and work locations, supporting critical utility needs such as outage prediction, outage preparedness, and restoration planning, as well as crew staging, load management, wildfire mitigation, and system recovery.
“Utilities need more than forecasts. They need to understand how weather will affect specific assets, crews, and customers and the trusted utility-relevant insights to act decisively,” said Renny Vandewege, General Manager for Weather and Climate Intelligence at DTN. “Our data shows that utilities that have predictive site-specific weather intelligence can potentially reduce outage durations by up to 30%.”
Purpose-built for real-world utility operations, DTN Weather Hub delivers:
- Territory-wide weather intelligence: A single, map-based view of hyper-local forecasts across service areas, supporting grid operations and real-time decision-making.
- Asset- and event-based visualization: Real-time weather conditions displayed in context with substations, transmission and distribution assets, work zones, and planned outages to support dispatch and restoration decisions.
- Role- and asset-specific alerting: Threshold-based alerts, risk scores, and notifications aligned with utility-defined safety limits, asset tolerances, and operational protocols to improve crew safety and coordination.
- Peril-specific monitoring: Purpose-built insights for high-impact utility threats, including severe storms, high winds, lightning, heat stress, icing, flooding, wildfires, and tropical systems.
- Multi-site and system-wide oversight: Centralized monitoring of weather risk across multiple regions and assets to support faster coordination and response across operations teams.
By applying utility-relevant thresholds and industry-specific risk models, DTN Weather Hub enables faster response, shorter outage durations, and improved system reliability as weather conditions change.
