How Dominion Energy Leverages Skydio, ESRI, and Seamless Integration to Enable Data Flow and Optimize Grid Maintenance
Speakers


Park recently joined Skydio as the Sr. Director of Energy Strategy after 15+ years at the New York Power Authority. Her experience in the utility industry spanned Engineering from design to commissioning through multiple Life Extension and Modernization programs in Power Generation before a shift to Strategic Operations and Asset Management. As Sr. Director of Asset Intelligence Solutions, she led the comprehensive effort to operationalize technology across the enterprise. By standing up the Reliability Centered Maintenance program and identifying the gaps for Technical Enablement to bring solutions to scale, her department tested and incorporated robotics, sensors, and data analytics to connect problems to solutions. Park graduated from MIT with her BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering.

SUMMARY
The electric utility industry is under pressure to do more with less: aging infrastructure, budget constraints, and rising demand create a need for change. Dominion Energy is meeting these challenges head-on by combining Skydio’s autonomous drones with ESRI’s GIS platform to transform how they manage their grid.
This isn’t just about flying drones—it’s about turning data hidden in plain sight into actionable insights fast. Skydio’s integration with ESRI automates data collection and analysis, helping Dominion save time, cut costs, and reduce outages. Safer, smarter, and more efficient—this is the future of utility operations, and Dominion is making it happen today.
