Grid innovation charged by batteries and decentralised energy
The role DNSPs could play in the transition has flown under the radar.
But what if (with clever orchestration of DER, batteries and more), local grids could play a major role in delivering reliable, affordable, low carbon energy, with significantly less new infrastructure build?
The BESS & DNSP Innovation (Future Grid Summit 2025) will answer that question, and more, exploring just how Innovative approaches and new tech can help transform the grid.
This isn’t a talkfest. It’s where regulators, network leaders, policymakers, and technologists tackle the real barriers to transformation from access and pricing reform to AI-driven forecasting, market integration of batteries and EVs, and resilient grid design.
