The ETIP SNET Regional Workshop 2025 addresses AI & GenAI integration in smart grids

The European Technology and Innovation Platform Smart Networks for Energy Transition (ETIP SNET) will host its second Regional Workshop of 2025, delving into the integration of artificial intelligence and generative AI into smart grids, with a focus on Central Europe.

The workshop, themed "AI & GenAI in Smart Grids", will take place in-person only on 8 May from 10:00 to 13:00 in Munich, Germany, in the context of the International Exhibition for Energy Management and Integrated Energy Solutions (EM-Power Europe). It will examine the latest technological advancements and best practices. The agenda will feature expert-led discussions, in-depth analyses, and real-world case studies, illustrating how AI-driven technologies are improving overall system efficiency, by optimising grid management and enhancing flexibility. Core discussions will focus on ETIP SNET's strategic recommendations, aimed at facilitating the widespread adoption of AI and GenAI in smart grids.

Speakers, including Luis Cunha, ETIP SNET Chair, Pascal Plank, ENTSO-E (WG on Digitalisation within the Innovation Committee), and Mark Stephan, AIT will cover key topics such as technical, regulatory, and market-related challenges, along with necessary steps to accelerate AI implementation in smart grids. In addition, the event will convene a diverse group of industry experts, policymakers, and key stakeholders from across the energy industry, including representatives from the European Commission, transmission system operators (TSOs), distribution system operators (DSOs), energy technology and storage providers, energy utilities, ICT companies, research and innovation organisations, national ministries and regulators, energy agencies, and funding bodies.

The workshop is particularly designed to engage professionals and stakeholders from Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Poland, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
