While we experience faster learning and innovation cycles, adaptation at scale is moving slowly. Taking more calculated risks in deploying new technologies faster beyond the pilot stage and creating harmonisation to secure continuity across entire life cycles are two barriers we can overcome with deeper collaboration.
The shift to renewables involves reimagining the entire power system. Grid resilience is a growing concern. It is the foundation of decarbonisation, electrification and long-term energy security. As electricity demand rises – fuelled by electric vehicles, data centres and the electrification of industry – the cost of inaction becomes clear. A resilient grid that enables the use of clean energy and meets the fast-growing demand is no longer optional. It’ s a strategic imperative. Those who invest early in digital infrastructure, automation and intelligent control systems will be the ones to lead the charge on flexibility, efficiency and innovation.
