Asset-level ignition risk
Continuous scoring at the pole, transformer, and circuit level.
FaultForecast · Summer 2026
See it before it ignites.
FaultForecast is Applied Predictive Analytics’ (APA) upcoming predictive platform for electric utilities and fire agencies operating in wildfire-exposed territory. Launching Summer 2026.
What FaultForecast will do
Grid-ignition risk, before the next fire starts.
FaultForecast applies the same predictive-analytics framework APA built for water infrastructure to electric grid assets. It scores ignition risk at the asset level by combining equipment age, vegetation proximity, weather conditions, and operational telemetry into a continuously-updated risk picture.
Who it’s for
Built for three buyers.
Electric utilities
Investor-owned utilities (IOUs), municipal utilities, and rural electric cooperatives operating in wildfire-exposed territory.
Fire / wildfire agencies
CAL FIRE, regional fire authorities, and county-level emergency management offices coordinating across utility infrastructure.
Municipal governments
Cities and counties assessing grid ignition exposure across jurisdiction boundaries.

FAQ
FaultForecast questions.
When will FaultForecast be available?
Summer 2026. Waitlist signups receive launch notifications, pilot program information, and early access briefings. Applied Predictive Analytics is currently onboarding pilot partners — electric utilities and fire agencies in wildfire-exposed territory should reach out via the waitlist or the Infrastructure Risk Assessment.
How is FaultForecast different from existing PSPS and wildfire tools?
FaultForecast is asset-level, not circuit-level. It scores ignition risk at the pole and transformer level by combining equipment age, vegetation, weather, and operational telemetry into a continuously-updated picture. Most existing tools provide circuit-level or zone-level risk; FaultForecast brings segment-level resolution and continuous updates.
Can we pilot FaultForecast before the general launch?
Yes. APA is onboarding pilot partners ahead of the Summer 2026 general availability. Pilots typically begin with an Infrastructure Risk Assessment — a 4–6 week scoped engagement — and transition to FaultForecast pilot access for qualified partners.
