SwissDrones Featured in Straight Arrow News: Most energy executives fear a major incident on the power grid
The Energy Infrastructure Index 2025 , created by SwissDrones reveals growing concern among energy leaders about the condition of North America’s critical infrastructure.
According to the study, 9 in 10 energy executives believe a preventable major incident on the power grid or pipelines is likely due to aging infrastructure. The findings also show that 96% worry about their systems’ ability to withstand extreme weather, and 92% expect deteriorating infrastructure to drive higher consumer prices in the coming years.
SwissDrones CEO Ulrich Amberg explains that many energy companies see it as only a matter of time before aging systems lead to serious disruptions, a reality that’s pushing the industry toward more proactive monitoring solutions. Increasingly, utilities are adopting UAV-based inspection technology to conduct safer, data-driven assessments of power lines and pipelines, helping to identify risks before they escalate.
Discover how utilities are responding and and how UAVs are redefining infrastructure resilience.
