Recent research carried out by Smart Grid Forums with over 100 European power grid professionals revealed growing concern that eroding supply chain reliability, workforce stability, and OT cybersecurity are inhibiting grid transformation projects, delaying renewables integration, and impacting Europe’s future energy security.

THE HAGUE CONFERENCE CENTRE, The Netherlands, Nov. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Recent research carried out by Smart Grid Forums with over 100 European power grid professionals revealed growing concern that eroding supply chain reliability, workforce stability, and OT cybersecurity are inhibiting grid transformation projects, delaying renewables integration, and impacting Europe’s future energy security.

Delivering to the energy transition is not a matter of If but one of How.”

At SGT25 utility senior managers will come together with their technical teams for three days of strategic and technical discussions, in order to get onto the same page, and move in the same direction at greater pace than ever before. The programme consists of:

1-Day Infrastructure Investment Briefing – a series of utility panel discussions addressing technology investment priorities and the implications for utility technical teams and the supplier ecosystem2-Day Technical Case-Study Conference – implementation focused programme reviewing the successes, setbacks, and future roadmaps of utility project leaders and product specifiers in six core domains: Digital Substations, Operational Systems, Smart Meter Infrastructure, OT Cybersecurity, Big Data, and Asset ManagementInnovation Excellence Awards Ceremony – attended by all participants, and evening of recognition and reward in support of utility innovationRoundtable Discussions – private senior management roundtable discussions as well as public technical roundtable discussions, facilitating high impact information exchange and networkingExhibition & Live Demo Labs – a display of leading smart grid product and service suppliers with deep expertise and experience in the grid sector
