CIRED Geneva 2025: 3 reasons why you can't afford to miss it

Visit NET2GRID at the Dutch Pavillion in CIRED, Geneva!

For Europe's Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and their key partners, CIRED 2025 isn't just another conference – it's the epicenter of electricity distribution innovation. Attracting over 1,600 attendees and 3,000 visitors from more than 60 countries, CIRED offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with industry leaders and shape the evolving energy landscape.

For the 12th time, the Dutch Power Pavilion, which will host a number of innovative Dutch companies, will be at CIRED from June 16-19 to share the best of their expertise and collaboration. NET2GRID will be there, showcasing how we're empowering DSOs to tackle the most pressing challenges of modern grids, from distributed energy resources (DER) integration to sustainable grid investments.

Here's why your presence at CIRED Geneva is crucial:

1. The industry's premier event: connect, collaborate, conquer

CIRED is the place where the entire electricity distribution community converges. From seasoned utility executives to forward-thinking tech providers and policy shapers, you'll find a vibrant ecosystem for knowledge exchange and strategic partnerships. Rub shoulders with the brightest minds, discover groundbreaking research at the roundtables and conference tracks, and forge connections that will drive your organization forward. It’s an unrivaled platform for networking and understanding the global trajectory of grid modernization.

2. Practical solutions for today's toughest grid challenges

The rapid expansion of unmanaged distributed energy resources (DERs), like rooftop solar and electric vehicles, is creating unprecedented grid congestion. DSOs are grappling with localized overloads, voltage fluctuations, and the challenge of maintaining reliability. This is where greater visibility is needed.

At the Dutch Power Pavilion (S5), you'll witness first-hand how AI-powered solutions leverage existing smart meter data to turn grid blind spots into low-voltage grid visibility. Instead of costly new sensor deployments and reactive strategies, NET2GRID EnergyAI® utilizes advanced algorithms to help DSOs:

• detect and pinpoint DERs in the low voltage network: EVs, residential PVs, BESS, and HVAC.

• improve grid operations by identifying more accurate areas of grid stress, gaps, and demand needs

• optimize asset health by identifying loading patterns and enabling predictive maintenance.

  
  

This translates into significant operational cost reductions in asset life (up to 1,2M in unnecessary substations upgrades), enhanced grid stability, and the ability to seamlessly integrate more renewables without massive infrastructure upgrades.

3. Shaping the integrated grid of the future

The vision of a fully flexible, resilient, and integrated European grid is ambitious, yet essential. DSOs face numerous hurdles, from regulatory complexities to the sheer scale of integrating millions of distributed assets. CIRED provides a crucial forum to discuss these challenges and collectively chart a path forward.

Visit the Dutch Power Pavilion and NET2GRID to discover how grid visibility can help by offering:

• Advanced DER grid planning: Understand the impact of future EV and solar PV growth to strategically plan grid investments and avoid costly over-dimensioning.

• Enhanced data interoperability: NET2GRID’s flexible APIs are designed for easy integration with existing DSO systems.

• Identification of opportunities for load shifting and Home Energy Management Systems (ΗΕΜS) in collaboration with energy retailers or advanced partners.
