Energy Transition and Digitalization

Join us as we explore :

  • What are the implications of the energy transition for the grid, as industry and transportation move from fossil fuels to electricity? What else is happening at the grid edge?

  • How can grid operators prepare?

  • What role does Digitalization have in the energy transition?

This event consists of two parts:

1. Presentations
