WILDFIRE ADVISORY SERVICES

Wildfire expertise, integrated across the utility

Wildfire risk does not sit within a single department. FEP helps utilities connect planning, modeling, asset and vegetation programs, operations, investment decisions, and regulatory commitments into one executable approach.

Focused support from strategy through execution

Risk Modeling & Fire Spread

Risk maps, outage and ignition likelihood, scenario modeling, fire spread, consequence monetization, and model validation.

Asset & Vegetation Management

Asset inspections, failure analysis, IVM program design, field validation, QA/QC, contracting, and performance improvement.

PSPS & Operational Mitigations

PSPS thresholds, protective settings, decision authority, playbooks, re-energization, exercises, and operational readiness.

WMP Development & Independent Evaluation

WMP development, independent assessment, maturity benchmarking, regulatory support, monitoring, and field verification.

Mitigation Portfolio Optimization

Cost-benefit analysis, RSE, scenario portfolios, consequence monetization.

Insurance Advisory

Utility risk profiling, maturity assessment, communication strategy, consequence monetization, underwriting diligence, and premium optimization.

SELECTED WILDFIRE EXPERIENCE

Experience from risk analysis through operational execution.

Representative engagements show how FEP connects technical modeling, utility operations, mitigation planning, and independent review in distinct operating environments. 

Wildfire Risk Modeling & Decision Support

Strengthening the analytic foundation utilities use to understand risk, compare mitigation, and support investment decisions.

Liberty Utilities
WILDFIRE RISK MODEL REVIEW AND ENHANCEMENT
Evaluation and re-engineering of Liberty’s wildfire risk model and benefit-cost analysis to create a more transparent and traceable framework for risk analysis, mitigation prioritization, and its 2027 Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

PSPS & Operational Risk Mapping

Turning wildfire risk information into consistent, utility-specific operating framework that can be used across diverse service territories.

Multi-state investor-owned utility

PSPS PROGRAM AND WILDFIRE RISK MAPPING

Development and implementation of an enterprise PSPS framework, followed by updated and operationalized wildfire risk maps that reflect meaningful differences in fuels, weather, topography, infrastructure, and operating context across multiple states.

Independent WMP Evaluation & Program Assurance

Assessing whether wildfire plans and programs are appropriate for the utilities’ system, exposure, operating environment, and available mitigation choices.

INDEPENDENT EVALUATION OF AN INITIAL WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN

Independent expert review spanning risk-area maps, infrastructure and customer exposure, historical fires, inspections, vegetation management, operational mitigations, emergency coordination, de-energization, restoration, and community outreach—considered as an integrated operating program rather than a checklist.

HOW FEP WORKS

Data-driven. Field-validated. Right-sized.

01 Understand         Establish the utility-specific risk, operating context, and decision need
