Spire Global Inc shares rose 5.2% in early Thursday trading. The move came after the company announced a new customer win. Spire was chosen by AiDASH to provide advanced weather data and insights.
Spire is based in Vienna, Virginia. It will supply detailed weather forecasts and real time insights. It will also offer round the clock support from professional meteorologists. This data will help protect electric grids from weather and vegetation related risks.
AiDASH has added Spire’s weather forecasts into its AI tools. These tools are already used by utility control centers across North America. They help predict power outages and vegetation issues before they cause problems.
Spire collects weather data using its own satellites. This includes information on wind, soil moisture, and atmospheric conditions. The company uses a high detail weather model that shows conditions at a very local level. This helps utilities understand how weather can affect trees, power lines, and grid performance.
Spire said utilities are facing more extreme weather than ever before. Climate changes are making grid reliability harder to manage. Better forecasting helps teams prepare earlier and act faster.
Spire’s service also includes access to meteorologists at all hours. They provide live guidance during storms and fast changing conditions. This helps utilities reduce outage risks and protect communities more effectively.
