E.ON Sweden, a leading energy provider serving over 1 million customers across Sweden, and Skyqraft, the top provider of faster, more accurate, inspections for energy infrastructure, have teamed up to digitize and reduce CO2 emissions across Sweden. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in enhancing grid reliability and underscores E.ON Sweden’s commitment to delivering a more reliable, sustainable, and customer-centric energy experience.
Before teaming up with Skyqraft, E.ON Sweden relied on helicopter-based manual inspections, where electrical engineers conducted visual assessments. In their pursuit of enhanced defect detection and operational efficiency, E.ON Sweden sought a solution that could streamline operations, enhance grid reliability, increase uptime, and enable the integration of drones, a pivotal element of their mission and strategy to reduce CO2 emissions–all in one place.
“Digitizing our energy infrastructure is key to a green and economically prosperous future for Europe. With Skyqraft, we’re making a long-term investment with short-term impact. By leveraging their solutions, we can significantly reduce hidden faults in our grid, creating a more dependable and resilient infrastructure. This shift allows us to allocate resources and capital towards our priorities: expanding the grid and connecting to renewable energy sources. It transforms our focus from sustaining value to creating value, playing a pivotal role in reducing CO2 emissions and supporting the twin transition.”
With energy consumption set to double by 2045, grid owners face significant challenges. Skyqraft’s platform combines sought-after sensor data including images, 3D point clouds, and thermal imaging, all in one place to detect 10x more defects in grids than traditional methods, serving as the layer between data collectors, grid operations, and field teams. Powered by AI, quality assured by experts, grid owners can proactively manage their risk exposure, optimize grid up time and their maintenance budgets.
Skyqraft’s data analysis capabilities enable E.ON Sweden to translate this wealth of data into actionable insights for more effective maintenance. With the help of Skyqraft, E.ON is creating a stronger, more reliable grid with fewer interruptions for its end customer.
“The path to European energy security and reliability requires a massive investment in all areas of the energy system. We’re thrilled to be a partner to E.ON in providing grid reliability through more reliable data. By embracing solutions like Skyqraft to facilitate the move to drones E.ON is their way to deliver the promise of reliable, sustainable and safe energy access to all their clients.said Louise Gauffin, CEO of Skyqraft. “
E.ON and Skyqraft are committed to making Sweden’s energy grid smarter, more reliable, and environmentally friendly through cutting-edge technology and innovation.
