co-organized the joint 1st CEM ISGAN―MI IC1 forum on “Cooperation to Accelerate Smart Grid Market Uptake,” (see draft agenda), a full-day CEM10/MI-4 side event on May 29, 2019 at the Vancouver convention centre where Ministers from over 25 countries will gather to accelerate progress toward a clean energy future.
The 10th Clean Energy Ministerial was held on 29 May in Vancouver, Canada and ISGAN, one of CEM initiatives on smart grids, released its deliverables to increase visibility of its activities to external stakeholders around the world. With this, we are pleased to inform you that ISGAN booklet for CEM10 is now available for download as attached.
Workshop: Steering our energy future – Global grid solutions to overcome new power system challenges
The workshop was organized by ISGAN Annex 6 as a side-event of the Innogrid 2020+ conference, to which ISGAN was one of the organizing partners.
Experimental Sandboxes for Smart Grid Transitions has been the focus for a major ISGAN Inter-Annex knowledge exchange initiative in partnership with the International Confederation of Energy Regulators (ICER), involving more than 20 countries, with the purpose of identifying key lessons learned and examples of good practice in regard to the design and implementation of such innovative policy instruments. This webinar will disseminate and discuss the outcomes of this project.
Making our power system fit for variable renewables - The side event of InnoGrid 2019 focused on the recent developments and innovations undertaken by network planners and regulatory bodies to increase coordination and control of interconnected systems and markets on the global scale.
Dr. Arun Kumar Verma, ISGAN Executive Committee representative from India and Joint Secretary at the Indian Ministry of Power will give a keynote speech at InnoGrid2020+
Along with rapid EV uptake will come significant increase in electricity demand and electric power impact on the grid as public, private, and fast-charging infrastructure is developed. The ability to control and plan for the coming EV revolution will be crucial to ensuring the security of supply of global electric grids while weaning the transportation sector off of fossil fuels.
The 17th ISGAN Executive Committee Meeting (ExCo17) and associated side events have been held in Sweden in the week from 1st – 5th April 2019. A big thank you goes to the Swedish Energy Agency, the host of ExCo17.
During the Stockholm Smart Grid Week first week in April 2019, a knowledge exchange event on experimental (regulatory) sandboxes to enable smart grid deployment was arranged by the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN) in partnership with International Confederation of Energy Regulators (ICER). Local organizers included the Swedish Smart Grid Forum and Swedish Energy Agency.
„During the ExCo-Meeting in Sweden, GSGF (Global Smart Grid Federation) and ISGAN members met in order to strengthen future collaboration, in particular in Asia-Pacific. Aiming at membership expansion, joint activities like knowledge sharing workshops and Smart Grids events have been identified. The next common event will be the Award Ceremony as part of the CEM10 Mission Innovation - ISGAN side event taking place in Vancouver on May, 29.”
