As a result of the Fukushima nuclear disaster Germany decided to phase out nuclear power by 2022. 8 out of 17 nuclear power stations have already been shut down permanently. Renewable energies will be expanded massively and will bear the brunt of future power generation.

Power grids are the key enablers of the energy transition, at the heart of the interaction between geographies, between sectors and between the physical and digital dimensions.
What role for microgrids and smart cities in the overall network? How should TSOs and member states cooperate regionally? What is the role of networks in preventing climate change? How is digital enabling and connecting the local, regional, national and European levels?
Join us on 5 & 6 December to discuss these questions and more.
