JIEEC 2026 will play host to representatives of power companies, equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, technology providers and public institutions to explore the key role of electricity grids in the competitive decarbonisation of industry.
The event will kick off with a presentation about the Grid4Industry transformation project, which is part of the Basque Country Industry Plan 2030, and will go on to explore innovative technological solutions, including designs for smart power lines and substations, advanced power electronics, and equipment and solutions for more resilient, sustainable grids.
Digitalisation will take centre stage throughout the event, with a focus on digitalised substations, artificial intelligence, and protection and cybersecurity solutions designed to ensure more efficient, secure network operations.
The event will conclude with one of the major challenges facing the energy system: the integration of storage and increased grid flexibility. This section will look at technologies, business models and opportunities for the industry to play an active role in the new electricity market.
As well as representatives from utility companies, equipment manufacturers, technology firms and public authorities, the event will feature a selection of start-ups who will present their value propositions in a pitch format, drawing on the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
