Panel Discussion: Designing Tomorrow’s Grid: F-Gas-Free MV Switchgear and the Path to EU Compliance
The new EU F-gas Regulation is accelerating the transition to SF₆-free medium-voltage switchgear across utilities, industry, and infrastructure projects. This session explores how fluorine-free technologies, meet upcoming regulatory requirements while maintaining reliability, safety, and compactness. Real-world deployment insights highlight what engineers and procurement specialists must consider staying future-proof and compliant.
- Interpret EU F-gas regulatory milestones and apply them to MV switchgear specification, procurement, and asset planning.
- Evaluate the technical and operational performance of fluorine-free MV GIS compared with traditional SF₆-based systems.
- Identify integration and deployment lessons from early large-scale adoption, including design, footprint, and retrofit considerations.
- Demonstrate how F-gas-free solutions support decarbonisation goals, lifecycle sustainability, and long-term grid strategy
