CIGRE 2026 to Focus on Building Electricity Grids for New Electrification Era

The world is entering a new era of electrification, and the construction of the grids to power it is now a primary focus. CIGRE 2026, scheduled for 2026, will address the challenge of building these essential electricity networks. The goal is no longer just to envision future grids, but to construct them rapidly, at scale, and through coordinated action across the entire value chain and all stakeholders.

The conference will concentrate on ensuring the swift and efficient construction of electricity grids capable of meeting rising demand and supporting the transition to cleaner energy sources. This effort is driven by competition in energy markets and the global need for secure energy supply.

Industry experts, policymakers, and companies will convene at the event to discuss grid design, construction, and management. The objective is to formulate shared strategies and solutions for developing sustainable and reliable power networks.

CIGRE 2026 aims to foster collaboration and innovation, enabling electricity grids to effectively support future energy needs and climate objectives.
