ENDVR Energy Expands Vegetation Management Services, Powered by Satellites and AI, Through Partnership with Spotlite

MILTON, Ontario, Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ENDVR Energy has partnered with Spotlite to help Canadian electric utilities, commercial organizations, and government agencies, reduce vegetation-related safety risks and outages, optimize vegetation management programs, and improve regulatory readiness through advanced satellite monitoring and AI-powered vegetation risk analytics.

The partnership brings Spotlite's TreeGuard™ vegetation monitoring platform to the Canadian market through ENDVR Energy, providing utilities and organizations with a more proactive and data-driven approach to managing one of the leading causes of power outages. By replacing traditional calendar-based trimming cycles with risk-based insights, infrastructure owners can focus resources where they will have the greatest impact on system reliability and public safety.

“As severe weather events become more frequent and vegetation management budgets face increasing scrutiny, utilities need better tools to determine where intervention will deliver the greatest value," said Jason Edwards, Vice President, Energy Services & Generation, ENDVR Energy. "TreeGuard™ gives utilities the ability to prioritize work based on actual network conditions, converting high-risk emergency storm restorations into scheduled, controlled daytime maintenance, while supporting regulatory reporting, asset planning, system reliability, and more informed operating and capital planning decisions."

"We're excited to bring TreeGuard™ to organizations across Canada through our partnership with ENDVR Energy," said Miguel Cordeiro, Commercial Director, Spotlite. "The same stack already monitors more than 20,000 km of distribution network in Europe. Through ENDVR Energy, Canadian clients get implementation support, GIS and work-order integration, independent field validation, and compliance reporting. The solution complements existing LiDAR investments while requiring no field hardware or disruption to existing maintenance practices."

Commercial and government infrastructure asset owners can now realize the cost-savings and process efficiencies that the electrical industry has required. Gaining greater visibility into vegetation-related threats that could impact infrastructure, public safety, environmental compliance, or operational performance is an industry-agnostic enhancement.

Available across Canada, the ENDVR Energy and Spotlite partnership provides organizations with a practical pathway to modernize vegetation management. By combining satellite intelligence, AI-driven analytics, and utility-focused advisory and compliance services, the solution helps organizations improve reliability, optimize spending, strengthen regulatory readiness, and make more informed vegetation management decisions across their distribution and infrastructure systems.
