How Dominion Energy leverages Skydio, Esri, and seamless integration to enable data flow and optimize grid maintenance

Synopsis

The electric utility industry is under pressure to do more with less: aging infrastructure, budget constraints, and rising demand create a need for change. Dominion Energy is meeting these challenges head-on by combining Skydio’s autonomous drones with ESRI’s GIS platform to transform how they manage their grid. This isn’t just about flying drones—it’s about turning data hidden in plain sight into actionable insights fast. Skydio’s integration with ESRI automates data collection and analysis, helping Dominion save time, cut costs, and reduce outages. Safer, smarter, and more efficient—this is the future of utility operations, and Dominion is making it happen today.
