Duke Energy is Using Drones to Restore Power in Puerto Rico

The mountainous area of Ponce, Puerto Rico has faced quite challenges to restore power in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Duke Energy looked into the matter and is using UAV’s to travel more than 1000 feet gorges of Ponce, and string vital power lines across in order to return power back to the area.

UAV’s are of great help when it comes to surveying the region and other important infrastructure relevant to the job. Jacob Velky, the manager of Unmanned Aerial Systems at Duke Energy, explained- “Being in a jungle, once the conductor is off and you just have a wooden pole out in the trees, it’s very difficult to see where pole is.” So using the drones under such circumstances would be helpful.
