Focused on the big picture issues shaping investment decisions over the next 3-5 years, utility senior managers will share their experiences, insights and strategies in six core areas, through a series of hour-long interactive panels discussions, that will break down the barriers between vision and execution.
This is a great opportunity for you to hear directly from senior utility decision makers, to ask your questions and gain clarifications on the most complex issues facing the sector right now, and to contribute to powerful discussions that will help pave the way for Europe’s power system progression.
Whether you are a utility technical professional, a solution provider, or an industry advisor, you will benefit enormously from the predictions being shared and the future directions being shaped on this day.
Panel Topics:
✅ Investment – optimising ROI through effective investment in new grid technologies, workforce skills development, and industry partnerships to drive the energy transition and ensure security of supply in Europe
✅ Flexibility – establishing contractual frameworks, win-win incentive structures, and efficient operational procedures to ensure successful flexibility partnerships as the number of renewable assets connecting to the grid continues to rise
✅ Innovation – driving innovation through utility-supplier-investor partnership models that introduce new technical solutions to emerging grid modernisation challenges whilst mitigating risk and preserving supplier autonomy, agility and innovation
✅ Supply Chain – developing local, national, and regional technology and materials sourcing strategies that strike the balance between speed and cost of procurement whilst maintaining national and regional sovereignty and preserving global inter-dependency from a position of strength
✅ Workforce – upskilling the engineering workforce as the backbone of the smart utility, in evolving functions such as data analytics and cybersecurity, to establish workforce stability, drive large-scale new technology implementation at speed, and stay on track with meeting climate goals
✅ Resilience – mitigating risks related to adverse weather conditions, geopolitical tensions, and cyberwarfare to strengthen bridges of collaboration and cooperation among smart utilities across Europe
