Spottitt is excited to announce its involvement in the delivery of one of only 18 projects selected to receive just under 400k GBP Alpha Phase SIF (Strategic Innovation Fund) funding. The funding is awarded by Ofgem and Innovate UK and aims to find and fund ambitious, innovative projects with the potential to accelerate the transition to net zero. These projects aim to help shape the future of the gas and electricity networks across the UK and beyond.
Spottitt will be working with project partners National Grid Energy Transmission, National Grid Gas Transmission, Spottitt, DNV and Cranfield University on the ‘Eye in the Sky’ project, which brings forward 3 exciting asset monitoring use cases:
At maturity, NGET has estimated that these innovations could deliver 22 million GBP (NPV over 10 years) value to NGET and its customers through a combination of cost savings by replacing manual ground and aerial monitoring, and cost avoidance through increased risk awareness.
Mr. Sean Colman, NGET’s Deeside Centre for Innovation Manager has this to say about the project: “Eye in the Sky is a really exciting prospect of utilising satellites to complete real-time visual inspections of land changes that affect our assets. If a change is detected, then it has the potential to inform an Engineer on the ground who can then inspect the data to make a more informed decision on how to manage the risk to assets. This is currently done manually, which is a very labour-intensive and costly process.”
The project will run for 6 months till the end of Jan 2023. During this time concepts will be trialled, data captured along 2800 km of network and a detailed roadmap developed for integration and further development.
As experts in satellite-derived infrastructure monitoring, Spottitt is leading the monitoring trials, data capture and analysis elements of the project.

Following a year of rapid growth inline with the founding team’s targets and ambitions to disrupt the geospatial industry with a flexible analytics solution that meets the needs of any business user in different industries, Spottitt is seeking new equity investors to raise $2M, part of which already committed by current shareholders and managers.
Extreme weather events have a tremendous humanitarian and economic impact on local communities and damage our critical infrastructure. They affect the safety of pipelines, disrupt transportation and distribution systems, cause power outages, impact clean water delivery and waste water handling.
Come to say hi and learn about how our digital inspection solution helps utility companies around the world improve their network performance and resiliency by employing high-res satellite imagery and AI technology.
Spottitt is happy to announce two winners of free Proof of Concepts (PoC). With the Spottitt MF beta program, Spottitt gave the chance to two utility network operators to get a free high-resolution analysis of 100 km of assets.
