The growth in distributed generation and diverse energy sources has disrupted the flow of a traditional electricity grid. Adapting to these changes will be key for a reliable and sustainable power generation. The SIEW Energy Insights Webinar, held in partnership with Clarion Events, gathered key stakeholders to discuss the observed trends in grid transformation and the role digitalisation plays in building an efficient, flexible, and resilient grid of the future.
