The clock is too short
Operators have about two minutes to approve an outage request. Full verification takes 30+. Under pressure, steps get skipped.
The next-generation grid requires smarter coordination.
Evardi is the operational coordination layer for utility outage management.
Problem
Outage approval is still manual. The grid can't wait.
The systems don't talk
Grid state, schedules, crew availability, and weather all live in separate systems. Conflicts are caught by hand, or not at all.
The stakes are real
A missed conflict costs roughly $200K. Regulatory penalties run up to $1M a day. Across US utilities, emergency costs from coordination failures top $20B a year.
Volume is climbing
Data center load and aging infrastructure are pushing outage volume to record highs. Southern California Edison alone runs over 30,000 a year. Manual coordination is breaking.
Technology
One layer. Every system. Every team.
How it works
01 — Ingest
Live grid state, outage schedules, contingency analysis, weather, demand forecasts, crew availability, and NERC rules, pulled from the systems your teams already use.
02 — Reason
An agent cross-references every pending request across planning, distribution, and real-time teams. It catches conflicts no one person could track, reschedules lower-priority work around the urgent, and flags every interaction that matters.
03 — Recommend
The operator gets a ranked recommendation in seconds. Approve or deny, and everyone affected is notified automatically.
