POWER Magazine’s executive editor Aaron Larson examines how sub-kilometer, asset-level weather forecasting is transforming utility wildfire risk management and public safety power shutoff (PSPS) decisions. The article features Technosylva alongside Climavision and Meteomatics as three distinct technical approaches all converging on the same need: resolution, refresh rates, and forecast horizons well beyond what public weather products deliver. On Technosylva specifically, Larson details the company’s continental-scale WRF weather model running at 2-km resolution, optimized for fire and extreme weather conditions, and its hourly asset-level fire-risk forecasts looking five days out — running roughly 9 billion simulations per day. The piece also covers Technosylva’s new urban conflagration modeling capability, built on a comprehensive fuel-classification dataset for urban environments that addresses the gap in standard wildfire models, which classify urban areas as non-burnable. Technosylva’s Chief Growth Officer Indran Ratnathicam notes that the urban conflagration capability is being integrated directly into existing planning and operational products, not offered as a standalone add-on.
