European Power Distribution & Transmission Systems Development Summit



21–23 October 2026 | Amsterdam | Netherlands



The executive meeting for European TSOs, DSOs and the organisations developing, modernising and supporting electricity networks.



A focused executive forum for senior leaders responsible for:



  • Transmission system development and expansion
  • Distribution network modernisation and transformation
  • Grid investment, asset management and infrastructure delivery
  • System operations, resilience and digitalisation

This is not a trade exhibition or a typical conference. It is a working environment for decision-makers

Across Europe, transmission and distribution networks are under pressure from:



  • Accelerating electrification and surging connection demand
  • Grid congestion, constrained capacity and permitting delays
  • Ageing assets, climate exposure and resilience requirements
  • Increasing digital, operational and cybersecurity complexity
  • Increasing regulatory and capital constraints


The question is no longer what the grid needs, it's: What are leading TSOs and DSOs actually prioritising right now?



What you get in 3 days


• Direct visibility into how leading TSOs and DSOs are prioritising network

development and investment


• Real-world insight into grid expansion, asset management and operational decision-making



• Closed-door access to senior network operators, engineering leaders and decision-makers


• Practical Discussions On:


-Grid investment, modernisation and capacity constraints


-AI, automation and intelligent network management


-Asset resilience, renewal and operational performance


-Flexibility, cybersecurity and future network development
