Global workshop series: Lighthouse experts explore distribution grid transformation worldwide

In the framework of the Lighthouse Project on Smart Distribution Grids, ISGAN is launching an innovative workshop series to explore grid development dynamics in different parts of the world.

Considering the recent COP28 Pledge propelling the international community towards a tripling of renewables and doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvements by 2030, the imperative for implementing innovative grid solutions has never been more pressing.

The ISGAN Lighthouse Project aims to foster international collaboration and innovation in the global effort to reshape distribution grids for a sustainable future. As part of this commitment, the project is now organizing a new workshop series focusing on different global regions, to provide a platform for experts worldwide to come together and address the challenges of long-term planning and implementation of smart distribution grids in a new way.

Share insights on policy making and grid operation

Join us in a dynamic exchange among stakeholders worldwide, each playing a vital role in the reshaping of distribution grids amidst a backdrop of profound uncertainties. Together, we’ll navigate through shared challenges while exploring the unique nuances of different global regions.

During the workshops we will explore the preconditions, challenges, and opportunities of key actors, including national and local energy policy makers as well as distribution grid operators and utilities, who will provide examples from different countries in the regions in focus. Questions to be explored include for example:

  • What are the fundamental prerequisites for grid development across diverse geographies?
  • How do uncertainties impact the capacity of grid actors to effectively plan and implement distribution grids?
  • How can actors with complementary roles and responsibilities work together to accelerate distribution grid transformation?
