The structure of the electricity system is changing fast. Rapid deployment of renewable energy generation, the needs to decarbonise European activities and the aging electricity system infrastructure present a significant and growing challenge to transmission and distribution systems across Europe.

The strategic direction is set by legislative frameworks, the markets and the compelling need for investment. As we evolve such models, the principles that have guided the industry for nearly 100 years will become obsolete; today’s centralised network will become an agile and adaptable web of interactions which will be highly responsive to fluctuations in availability and demand. How will network owners, generators, regulators and new market entrants respond to develop, and deliver, the utility business model to make the 21st century energy system work?

In view of rapid developments and a shift towards smart energy, our 9th annual Transmission & Distribution/Smart Grids Europe will be co-joined with flagship Metering, Billing/CRM Europe and Smart Homes. By bringing these events under one roof, the event will become Europe’s preeminent learning and networking hub for the utility and power sector markets.
