Still possible to register for EDSO Workshop for Smarter Cities, 21 November
In a changing energy system, cities in Europe are facing challenging structural changes. They are progressively urged to be able to host smarter and sustainable advanced technologies to deliver electricity in intelligent and efficient way to their citizens.The Distribution System Operators (DSOs) are key to ensure this task and the public expectations are met.
EDSO organises this workshop to show you the challenges and opportunities of such a transition. To voice the commitment DSOs are applying in updating, improving and modernizing your grids they manage and to demonstrate the way they are making your use of electric power smarter and easier.
