AGENDA

Utility Day
Resilient Smart Grids for Net Zero Emissions

Renewable energy is a key focus for power companies worldwide. However, the variability of renewable resources, the need for integrating and dispatching distributed energy, and the increasing complexity of business models for new energy resources entering the electricity market present significant challenges. Utility companies are working toward resilient, smart grids to support the transition to net-zero emissions. We invite utility companies from across the Asia-Pacific region to share their experiences and strategies for achieving stable, smart, and resilient power grids on the path to net zero.
