Infravision raises $91M for power line maintenance drones

Infravision, a company specializing in aerial drones for power grid construction and maintenance, has raised $91 million in Series B funding to accelerate the adoption of its TX System. This system integrates drones, intelligent ground equipment, and stringing hardware to provide a faster, safer, and more cost-effective alternative to traditional power line stringing methods, which often face delays and high costs. The TX System has been successfully deployed on major projects worldwide, including Powerlink Genex in Australia and emergency response efforts with PG&E in California, demonstrating its capability to handle complex and high-voltage transmission tasks while reducing outages and community disruptions. Led by GIC with participation from Activate Capital, Hitachi Ventures, and Energy Impact Partners, the funding will support Infravision’s expansion into the U.S. market, enhance its engineering talent pool, and scale manufacturing and operations. Since its 2018 launch, Infravision has completed over 40 major projects across four countries, saving clients millions of dollars
