About
Witching Hour is a hard tech startup developing technology to eliminate forest fire risk for electric utilities. The company's hardware solutions reduce electrical faults and ignitions that cause catastrophic wildfires, and can be installed on live energized power lines — reducing outage time during installation. Compared to traditional mitigation approaches like covered conductor or undergrounding (which cost up to $4M per mile), Witching Hour's technology can reduce mitigation costs by up to 97%. The company is a member of DOE's Innovation Crossroads Cohort 2025 and was featured at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield.
