NextGrid Summit 2025

Project NextGrid set out to create the next generation of control and surveillance in the distribution grid, and now we are delighed to share with you what comes next. Join us at the NextGrid Summit 2025, where we will share results, experiences and technical demonstrations from the past three years.

Most of the technology that is required for smart grid operation already exists, but the scaling and implementation of these solutions has been too slow. The reason for this is that important tools are lacking.

Through NextGrid, the project partners have developed thermal surveillance systems for the power grid, tools for operations planning and systems for data integration. The innovations that are developed in the project have been tested and verified through various activites.

The NextGrid Summit will share results, experiences and demonstration of tools developed in the project.
