Web Platform Equips SDG&E With Real-Time Data to Mitigate Wildfire Risks and PSPS Events
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has developed a suite of technologies to mitigate the threat of wildfires and help reduce the need for public safety power shutoff (PSPS) events during extreme fire weather conditions. SDG&E launched its Wildfire Next Generation System (WiNGS) to model climate scenarios, estimate potential outcomes, and prioritize communities and assets.
In 2024, SDG&E added a new layer to WiNGS to assess hazards associated with temporary construction and compliance (TCC) assets. Through its efforts, SDG&E has expedited risk analysis, effectively reducing the impact of PSPS de-energization events on its customers.
These efforts earned SDG&E Gold recognition in Chartwell’s 2025 Best Practices Awards for Excellence in Outage Operations.
