A utility approved a Viking test expected to cover about 18 power lines in high-risk areas
Viking Global Technologies (VGTK) announced a major U.S. utility approved an expanded pilot of its Grid Protection Technology (GPT) across 18 high-risk transmission circuits. The pilot will evaluate GPT's performance in various conditions, with initial monitoring-only operation. The technology aims to enhance grid safety and wildfire mitigation by detecting conductor failures early.
