ISGAN Webinar – ISGAN Lighthouse Foresight and Strategic Decision Making

Foresight and strategic intelligence play crucial roles in the long-term strategic planning of future resilient distribution grids, particularly in uncertain and complex environments like those related to the energy transition and climate change mitigation and adaptation.

This phase is critical for ensuring that strategic decisions and plans are based on robust and actionable information, even if accurate predictions of future requirements for grids cannot be made.

The essence of making informed decisions and deploying effective steering mechanisms in distribution grid planning is in the centre of discussion for ISGAN Lighthouse Webinars organised on September 10 and October 1, 2025.

	Klaus Kubeczko Senior Expert Advisor at AIT Austria
	Julio Braslavsky Senior Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO Australia
	Prathaban Moodley General Manager: Applied Energy R&D and Innovation at South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) South Africa
	Branislav Iglar Research Engineer Integrated Energy Systems Center for Energy at AIT Austria
	Terijo Lovasz Project Officer at CSIRO Australia

Intended audience

Policy makers, regulators, energy agencies, distribution system operators and utilities, public and private grd infrastructure owners, researchers.
