As CIGRE 2026 comes to a close, one thing has become abundantly clear: Electricity is becoming the defining infrastructure of our time.
Across our booth, in discussions with utilities, policymakers, industry leaders, partners and customers, the same themes emerged again and again:
⚡ Rising electricity demand
⚡ The growing complexity of power systems
⚡ The need for secure, affordable and sustainable electricity
⚡ The role of grids as the foundation of competitiveness, energy security and growth
Whether discussing renewable integration, industrial electrification, AI-driven demand, grid resilience, digitalization or the future of transmission and distribution networks, the conclusion was the same:
⚡ The challenge is no longer only generating energy.
⚡The challenge is delivering electricity where it is needed, when it is needed.
Throughout the week, we launched new technologies, shared new insights through our Grids in Transition: Europe report together with @Global Transmission, and welcomed customers and partners from across the world to our booth.
But perhaps the most important takeaway is this:
No single company, utility, government or technology can build the future power system alone.
Progress depends on collaboration across the entire ecosystem.
This is what we call The Next 25.
The decisions we make today will shape the electricity system that powers the next generation of progress.
Thank you to everyone who visited us, challenged us, inspired us and collaborated with us throughout the week.
Together, we're building the grid for the Electricity Era.
