GooseAtlas fuses Canada’s entire electricity system with live and forecast weather, official alerts and the critical services that run on the grid — then turns it into quantified impact and an action plan. We’re looking for equity partners, sponsors and pilot customers to take it to market. Tell us how you’d like to get involved.

Who it serves — the pain, and what we do about it

Utilities & system operators

IESO · AESO · Hydro-Québec · BC Hydro · SaskPower · Manitoba Hydro · NB Power · NS Power · LDCs

The pain — Weather, alerts, asset GIS and market screens live in separate systems; quantifying exposure during a storm is manual and slow.

  • Live wind, radar and ECCC alerts over your plants, lines and substations
  • Capacity-at-risk (MW), exposed ≥230 kV substations and transmission-km in severe-alert zones — computed continuously
  • 48-hour forecast timeline: scrub to the peak-gust hour and see risk before it arrives
  • One-click AI briefing with redispatch, reserve, staging and import recommendations

Value — Fewer surprise outages, faster restoration, defensible pre-positioning decisions.

🚨

Emergency management

Public Safety Canada · provincial EMOs · municipal EOCs · Canadian Red Cross

The pain — No common operating picture linking active warnings to the power infrastructure and the critical services that depend on it.

  • Severity-coloured alert polygons with the grid failure mechanism spelled out (ice loading, galloping conductors, flooding)
  • Critical facilities layer: hospitals, water works, wastewater plants, shelters, fire & police — and which are in the impact zone right now
  • Worst-first ranked assets and affected-province summaries for briefings and mutual-aid requests
  • Recovery sequencing: hospital feeders, water plants and shelters surfaced as explicit actions

Value — A shared, current picture for EOC activation, shelter readiness and restoration priority.

🏛️

Municipalities & regional government

Cities, counties, regional districts, community energy & climate-resilience offices

The pain — Climate-resilience and community-energy planning needs weather risk, grid assets and critical services together — usually three consultants and a year.

  • See every hospital, water plant, shelter, fire hall and police station against live and forecast grid risk
  • Generation, transmission and substation density around your community for energy-planning and siting
  • Provincial price and carbon context for electrification, EV and district-energy business cases
  • Exportable AI briefings as inputs to council reports and resilience plans

Value — Evidence-based resilience investment and faster, cheaper planning cycles.

🏥

Health & water authorities

Provincial health authorities · hospital networks · water & wastewater utilities

The pain — Backup-power and treatment-continuity decisions are made without a live view of the grid threat to each facility.

  • Hospitals and water/wastewater plants flagged the moment they fall inside high-gust or severe-alert zones
  • Briefing actions: confirm generators, fuel-on-hand and transfer switches; avoid boil-water advisories and overflows
  • 48-hour look-ahead so fuel and staffing can be arranged before the peak

Value — Protects patient safety and public health during grid stress events.

🛡️

Insurance & reinsurance

P&C insurers · reinsurers · cat-model teams · business-interruption underwriters

The pain — Grid-outage and business-interruption exposure is modelled coarsely; live event exposure is invisible.

  • Event-time exposure: MW, substations, transmission-km and critical facilities inside each alert polygon
  • Forecast-hour risk for early warning of large loss events
  • A machine-readable briefing/impact API for exposure dashboards and claims triage

Value — Sharper event response, earlier reserving, better-priced grid-dependent risk.

🖥️

Data-centre & large-load siting

Hyperscalers · colocation · AI compute · industrial electrification

The pain — Power availability, price, carbon and climate risk are evaluated separately, often on stale data.

  • Existing data-centre footprint and nearby generation, transmission and substations
  • Provincial price and carbon overlays for total-cost and ESG screening
  • Live and forecast weather risk over candidate regions; alerts on facilities already in the impact zone

Value — Faster, better-defended site decisions for the largest new loads on the grid.

🌬️

Renewable & storage developers

Wind, solar and battery IPPs · community energy co-ops · Indigenous energy corporations

The pain — Resource, interconnection and market signal are assessed in separate studies; curtailment risk is an afterthought.

  • Animated live wind field plus 48-hour forecast on the same map as transmission and substations
  • Wind-farm cut-out insight: capacity sitting in ≥90 km/h gusts where turbines feather and output drops
  • Provincial price and carbon to frame the business case

Value — Resource + grid access + market in one look, with weather-driven production risk made visible.

📡

Telecom & critical infrastructure operators

Carriers · pipeline & rail operators · airports · ports

The pain — Their sites depend on the grid, but grid threat information arrives late and unlinked to their assets.

  • Overlay any asset list on live grid risk to see which sites need backup power now
  • Alert mechanisms and forecast timeline to plan generator deployment
  • Shared picture with utilities and EMOs during joint events

Value — Keeps networks, fuel and transport moving when the grid is stressed.

🏦

Finance, investors & ESG

Infrastructure funds · lenders · rating agencies · ESG analysts

The pain — Physical-climate and grid-resilience risk on energy assets is hard to see and harder to compare.

  • Asset-level exposure to live and forecast weather, by generation type and province
  • Carbon intensity and price context by province
  • A repeatable, data-backed briefing format for due diligence and monitoring

Value — Better-informed capital allocation and transparent physical-risk reporting.

⚖️

Regulators, policymakers & researchers

Canada Energy Regulator · provincial regulators · NRCan · universities

The pain — System-wide oversight and climate-grid research lack an integrated, current, national view.

  • National inventory: 1,159 plants (144 GW), 132,410 km of ≥100 kV lines, 6,843 substations, refreshed from open sources
  • Live weather-grid coupling with quantified impact — a ready base for resilience and hardening studies
  • Provenance for every dataset (source and last refresh) shown in-app

Value — Evidence for policy, standards and resilience investment; a reproducible research substrate.

How it becomes a business

The same live engine can be packaged for each buyer — from a control-room licence to a machine-readable risk API.

Situational-awareness licence

Utilities, EMOs, provinces

The live map, alerts, grid-impact and forecast timeline for control rooms and EOCs — per-seat or per-agency.

Grid-Intelligence API

Insurers, telecoms, finance, integrators

Machine-readable live impact, forecast risk and briefings (the same endpoints that power the map) for dashboards, cat models and workflows.

Critical-facility monitoring

Health, water, municipalities

Watch-lists of hospitals, water plants and shelters with alerting when they enter high-risk or severe-alert zones.

Siting & planning studies

Data-centre, renewable, industrial developers

Location intelligence packs combining grid proximity, price, carbon and climate-weather risk.
