Abstract
A computer-implemented method for predicting power outages for use in vegetation management is provided. Aspects include obtaining historical weather data for a geographical location including a utility line, obtaining historical outage data for the utility line, and training an outage prediction model based at least in part on the historical weather data and the historical outage data. Aspects also include generating, based on the historical weather data, a future storm data set, obtaining an outage prediction score for the utility line by inputting the future storm data set into the outage prediction model, and creating a vegetation trimming score for the utility line based at least in part on the outage prediction score, wherein the vegetation trimming score for the utility line indicates an urgency for performing trimming vegetation adjacent to the utility line.
