Webinar:

From Data to Decisions: Modernising Power Distribution Operations for a Resilient Grid

Date: 12 May, 2026 

Time: 14:00 BST (UTC+1) / 15:00 CEST

Overview:

Electrification, DERs, and regulatory scrutiny are creating new operational complexity for DSOs across the Nordics and Benelux. Many networks still rely on siloed SCADA, GIS, OMS, and asset management systems, making it difficult to monitor network state, prioritise maintenance, and respond quickly to outages or congestion.

Operators need decision-ready insights, not more dashboards.

Join Kevin Walsh (AVEVA) and Scott Smith (PowerRunner) for a conversation on how modern operational intelligence platforms turn fragmented operational data into actionable insights. We’ll discuss how DSOs can leverage existing infrastructure to improve network monitoring, optimise asset performance, and make faster, data-driven operational decisions.

Bring your operational challenges, and join the discussion on what’s next for operational intelligence in Nordic and Benelux power distribution.

Who Should Attend:

  • Distribution network operations & control leaders
  • Asset management & maintenance managers
  • Grid strategy & planning professionals
  • Regulatory compliance & reporting officers
  • OT/IT architects & data engineers

 Key Takeaways:

  • Integrating SCADA, GIS, OMS, and asset data into actionable insights
  • Risk-based maintenance prioritisation and predictive interventions
  • Improving outage response and network reliability
  • Scaling operational processes without disrupting existing systems
  • Best practices for regulatory compliance and auditable workflows
