Featured: Splice N Connect in Decentralised Energy Canada

Decentralised Energy Canada (DEC) featured Splice N Connect in an April 2025 Q&A interview titled "Splice N Connect: Tackling Underground Cable Failures — One Connection at a Time."

The conversation covers the origin story of the company, the technology behind our sensor platform, and the broader gap in real-time cable monitoring that we're working to close — particularly for underground distribution at the medium-voltage level.

A few highlights:

"There's a big gap in real-time cable management, especially for underground cables at the distribution voltage level. There's limited proactive monitoring options — just scheduled checks years apart. Our solution provides early fault indicators, like heat and partial discharge, using non-intrusive, self-powered devices that clamp onto cable connection points."

"Think about your car. You have sensors that tell you when something's off. Utilities right now are driving blind — no sensor tells them when underground cables are starting to fail. Our device is that sensor."

"The goal is to shift from reactive to predictive and proactive maintenance."

The full Q&A — including the company's origin story, technology approach, target industries, and reflections on representation in the energy sector — is available on the DEC website.
