InnoGrid2020+ ‘Digital Energy’ conference

InnoGrid2020+ has become the not-to-be-missed EU event on innovation in electricity networks. The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) and the European Distribution System Operators for Smart Grids (EDSO), who co-organise the conference, will focus the 2016 edition on “Digital Energy”.

This year’s conference will address the innovation paradigm behind the distribution and transmission interface. It also will take stock of on-going R&D projects. Finally, it will address the question of how regulation could facilitate innovation in the new power system. Beyond engaging presentations, panel sessions and debates, InnoGrid2020+ will run a poster and exhibition session, enabling participants to interact and share knowledge and best practices.

The 5th InnoGrid2020+ is scheduled to take place over 22 March (afternoon) and 23 March (full day) at the Center for Fine Arts in Brussels.

• Maroš Šefčovič, Vice-President and Commissioner for Energy Union
