On November 30, 2018, E.DSO launched the Stakeholders and Innovation Council to jointly design the evolution of DSO models. The aim is to create value for all relevant stakeholders (citizens and society, industry, customers, and others), developing forward looking DSO strategies.
The Council has brought together eight of the most influential leaders from academia, international organizations, and business to develop new insights and perspectives on the major trends driving the evolution of DSO models – such as decentralisation, digitalisation, electrification, urbanisation, and climate change – and open up discussion for new ideas, disruptive schemes and innovation, with a worldwide outlook.
This paper summarises the outcomes of the discussions at the inaugural meeting of the Stakeholders and Innovation Council.
