// Why GridIQ Exists
On November 8, 2018, a PG&E transmission line failed near Pulga, California. The Camp Fire destroyed Paradise — 85 people died.
I live in Paradise. I watched it happen. I stayed and rebuilt — then built GridIQ specifically to prevent it from happening again.
Every feature in this platform traces back to the exact failure modes that destroyed this town. Vegetation encroachment. Conductor sag under load. Equipment degrading without anyone watching. A utility that had no real-time visibility into what was happening on their lines.
GridIQ watches every line. So no utility has to learn what we learned the hard way.
