Our commitment to
providing clean, safe and
reliable energy means
routine investigations
and assessments of our
electric power lines.
Drone Investigation, Assessment and Repair (DIAR) Program
As part of our commitment
to providing safe and reliable
energy, we’re proactively
addressing fire risk.
The Drone Investigation, Assessment, and
Repair (DIAR) Program is part of SDG&E’s
Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP) efforts. The
DIAR Program enhances the evaluation of
SDG&E’s overhead electric power lines and
equipment within identified High Fire Threat
District (see map on back).
About DIAR ProgramIn support of SDG&E’s Wildfire Mitigation
Program, the DIAR Program will assess
SDG&E® electric power lines using drone
technology to identify necessary repairs
or improvements and to reduce the risk of
wildfire.
What to expectSDG&E crews and/or our approved
contractors will be conducting a
comprehensive assessment of overhead
electric power lines on or near your property
using drone technology.
To complete this assessment, SDG&E crews
and/or contractors will need access to our
electric power line easements and Rights-of-
Way locations on or near your property.
Drones will be used to collect photographs of
SDG&E electric infrastructure which will be
evaluated by SDG&E personnel. The objective
of the program is to take photos of SDG&E’s
infrastructure and not the surrounding
areas. Please see examples of the type of
photographs SDG&E will be taking on
the back page of this document. Drone-
related activities may temporarily increase
surrounding noise levels or dust.
During drone assessments, your electric
service will continue without interruption.
These assessments will take place from
early fall and continue through the end
of 2020.
