Speed to Power: Watch Entergy and Heimdall Power’s On-Demand Webinar

Think big, start small, scale what works — a fireside chat on how one large utility moved from DLR curiosity to real deployment, fast.

Most utilities are curious about Dynamic Line Rating. Far fewer have actually deployed it.

The gap between those two groups isn't usually a technology problem. It's a momentum problem — the challenge of moving from "we should explore this" to "we have sensors in the ground and data flowing."

Entergy closed that gap. Fast.

In January 2026, Entergy and Heimdall Power completed a record-setting, multi-state DLR deployment — 31 Neurons installed by drone across Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas in just five working days, in the middle of a once-in-a-decade winter storm. But the more interesting story isn't just what they deployed. It's how they got there: how they aligned planning, operations, and leadership; how they decided where to start and how large to go; and what happened inside the organization after the technology went live.

That story is now available to watch on demand.

What the webinar covers

In this recorded fireside chat, Tim Sansing — the Entergy engineer who led the DLR project — sits down with Brian Berry, Chief Product Officer at Heimdall Power, for an unscripted conversation about what it actually looks like to move quickly on grid modernization. Together, they cover:

• How Entergy built internal alignment across planning, operations, and leadership — and what that process really looked like
• The timeline from concept to deployment, including the unexpected challenges along the way
• Which KPIs mattered most to leadership versus the project team, and how those evolved
• What happened after deployment was announced internally — the use cases that emerged that no one had originally anticipated
• How to apply a minimum viable product (MVP) approach to DLR: think big, start small, scale what works
• What Entergy's experience means for the broader industry, including global context from Heimdall Power's deployments across more than 15 countries
• A brief overview of the DOE's SPARK funding opportunity and what utilities need to know right now

The session was designed for utility professionals who are curious about DLR but unsure how to get started — and for those who are actively scoping a project and want to learn from a peer who's already been through it.

Why this conversation matters

Utilities face a familiar tension: rising demand, growing congestion, pressure to defer capital investment, and a constant ask to do more with existing infrastructure. DLR is one of the most cost-effective tools available to address all of those pressures at once — but only if you can get it off the ground.

What Entergy's experience demonstrates is that you don't need a massive program, a perfect use case, or years of internal study to start generating value. You need the right starting point, clear success criteria, and a way to build internal momentum.

This webinar is about exactly that.
