Session I:
Energy Transition 2030: What does the 40/27/27 mean for Distribution?
The purpose of this session is to present a compelling 2030 perspective by the DSOs- a vision and the necessary steps to
get there: smart grids, innovation, data management, and market facilitation. The role of DSOs in the stakeholder
landscape will be addressed at once. Smarter regulation will be needed for smarter distribution, underpinning the
common objective of a cost efficient and successful energy transition.
9.15-9.30
Keynote: A Look back from 2030
A look back from the future: what does 27% RES electricity, 27%
energy efficiency, 40% CO2 emissions reductions mean for
distribution? Which vision do we have? What are the steps to be
taken? The regulation needed? The relations with other
stakeholders?
