In 2024, Airpelago’s drone technology has improved efficiency and sustainability for important European TSOs and DSOs. Our autonomous drones are an optimised, safer, greener manner of inspecting power lines, and it was used by major operators such as:
Ellevio: Airpelago was contracted to inspect approximately 6,000 kilometers of overhead power lines annually across Ellevio’s grid using autonomous drones.
"Utilizing drone technology allows us to achieve enchanced safety, reduce noise and disturbance for land owners, and improve sustainability in our operations." - Kristian Flinth, Manager of Preventive Maintenance, Ellevio Central Sweden
Energinet: Denmark’s national transmission system operator for electricity and gas partnered with Airpelago to conduct an inspection of 132kV assets using autonomous drones and the Airpelago Power software for project coordination and assessment of captured data.
"Airpelago delivered a detailed inspection in a good quality in an effective way. Their overall approach was professional from start to finish." - Christian Christiansen, Specialist Energinet
