In this episode of CFC Solutions Cast, we speak with Jeff Allen, vice president of operations, and Clayton Jones, vegetation management supervisor, from Jones-Onslow Electric Membership Corporation (JOEMC). They discuss their use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for vegetation management and how the application is enhancing their vegetation management program. 

JOEMC is a distribution cooperative located in North Carolina serving more than 81,000 meters with a service territory that stretches across six counties from beach communities to agricultural areas.  

Allen and Jones share how the new program is helping to improve the reliability and safety of the electric grid while directing cooperative resources to the right locations at the right time. 

Listen to learn how electric cooperatives can use data analytics to learn more about their vegetation management programs.
