At Enlit Europe, Saqib Saeed, Chief Product Officer at PTR Inc., shared insights on transformative trends defining the future of energy landscape. Key takeaways include:

Digitalization as a Necessity: Digitalization is critical across industries—power grids, EV charging infrastructure (EVCI), and renewable energy all demand robust digital frameworks. This shift allows extensive data collection, optimizing grid management and positioning software-driven solutions at the core of future operations. On the demand side, a learning curve is expected as industry players and end-users adapt to evolving technologies. Vendors will need to play a crucial role in facilitating this transition by supporting education and adaptation.

Importance of Visualization: Visualization is highlighted as an emerging theme, with advances in software promising greater insights and enhanced operational transparency.

SF6-Free Switchgear Adoption: Saqib noted significant progress in adopting SF6-free switchgear, reflecting the industry’s growing commitment to sustainability.

Regulatory Diversity in T&D: Finally, he pointed out that generalizations are challenging within the transmission and distribution (T&D) sector, as each country operates under unique regulatory frameworks, leading to distinct behaviors across regions.

These insights underline the industry’s rapid shift toward digital solutions, sustainability, and tailored approaches to meet diverse regional demands.
