What NDVI measures
NDVI measures vegetation greenness from satellite imagery. It can indicate dense or changing vegetation but does not identify individual hazardous trees by itself.
Source documentation
NDVI data used for vegetation risk context.
NDVI is a satellite-derived vegetation index that helps describe vegetation density and growth patterns. In utility intelligence, NDVI becomes more useful when combined with weather, outage history, and infrastructure proximity.

How GeoGridIQ uses NDVI
GeoGridIQ uses NDVI as one evidence layer for vegetation risk, especially when paired with wind, ice, historical outage activity, and infrastructure exposure.
Why transparency matters
Vegetation risk should not be treated as a black box. Operators need to understand when NDVI is strong evidence and when field inspection or better source data is required.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions for operators and planners.
Does NDVI prove outage risk?
No. NDVI is one vegetation signal. It should be combined with weather, infrastructure, historical outage patterns, and utility expertise.
Why is NDVI useful for utilities?
NDVI helps identify where vegetation density or growth may increase exposure near electrical infrastructure.
