Infravision, a pioneer in aerial robotics for power grid construction and maintenance, has raised $91 million in a Series B funding round led by GIC, with participation from Activate Capital, Hitachi Ventures, and existing investor Energy Impact Partners. The new financing will support the global deployment of the company’s TX System, a fully integrated power line stringing solution combining drones, intelligent ground equipment, and specialized hardware.
The company’s technology provides a faster, safer, and more cost-effective alternative to traditional ground and helicopter methods of power infrastructure construction. Amid global surges in electricity demand driven by AI, industrial onshoring, and electrification, Infravision’s approach aims to solve one of the industry’s most persistent bottlenecks: the slow and costly pace of grid expansion.
Founded in 2018 by robotics engineer Cameron Van Der Berg and military veteran Chris Cox, Infravision has completed over 40 major projects across four countries. The company’s system has already been deployed on large-scale projects such as Powerlink Genex in Australia and emergency response operations with PG&E in California. In its latest iteration, the TX System brings helicopter-level capabilities to a daily-use, truck-based fleet vehicle designed for versatility and field deployment in challenging environments.
The Series B investment will enable Infravision to expand its North American footprint, scaling manufacturing and engineering capacity in the U.S. while partnering with utilities and contractors to meet urgent transmission infrastructure needs. The company’s system reduces outages, improves emergency response, and minimizes community disruption—an increasingly critical capability as utilities confront mounting energy demand and challenges related to grid modernization.
Infravision’s leadership team remains focused on advancing the next generation of automated grid construction technologies. The company is positioning itself as a strategic partner to the global power sector as countries race to double grid infrastructure by 2040.
KEY QUOTES:
“Infravision’s aerial robotics system has been proven on some of the largest and most complex power line projects in the world, including Powerlink Genex in Australia and emergency response deployments with PG&E in California. This investment will help us scale to provide a faster, safer, and more cost-effective way to meet surging electricity demand as the world races to double grid infrastructure by 2040.”
Cameron Van Der Berg, CEO of Infravision
“Reliable, modern transmission infrastructure is foundational to the global energy transition. Infravision is solving one of the toughest challenges in that equation – how to scale grid buildout safely, affordably, and at the pace required to meet electrification, AI, and industrial growth. We’re proud to continue supporting the team as they expand in North America and beyond.”
