Survey: Opportunity to contribute to the knowledge co-creation of the ISGAN Lighthouse Project on Smart Distribution Grids

As part of the Lighthouse Project on Smart Distribution Grids, we have developed a survey on Long-term Planning and Implementation of Smart Distribution Grids Powering the Energy Transition.

This digital questionnaire is a pivotal component of our project’s knowledge sharing process, aiming to gather insights on the preconditions, barriers, and needs experienced by distribution grid actors across diverse global landscapes.

The outcomes of this survey will serve as a compass guiding ISGAN’s efforts in providing targeted knowledge support and policy guidance concerning the long-term planning and implementation of smart distribution grids, which are instrumental in facilitating the ongoing energy transition.

To ensure inclusivity and capture a wide spectrum of perspectives, we’ve designed the survey questions to encompass various actor groups involved in the long-term planning process. This inclusive approach guarantees comprehensive coverage and facilitates analysis, incorporating insights from distribution grid operators, infrastructure owners, and policymakers at different levels.

Please note that this survey is addressed to senior decision-makers in organisations with responsibility for distribution grid planning and implementation.

At the heart of the Lighthouse Project lies the mission to deliver policy guidance and customized recommendations that address the challenges encountered within distribution grids to key decision-makers. These recommendations will be presented in conjunction with the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM15) in Brazil this October.

The survey is conducted and processed by the Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH (AIT) on behalf of ISGAN. All data provided are subject to anonymized analysis. Participation in providing contact details is entirely voluntary, and any information shared will be used solely for purposes chosen by participants at the conclusion of the survey.

The survey is estimated to take approximately 20 minutes to complete. The previous deadline of 6 May has been extended to 11 June. For further information or inquiries, please contact Irmgard Herold (irmgard.herold@ait.ac.at).
