Shaping Europe’s Distribution Grid: Mandatory Technical Codes and What They Mean for Industry

As Europe accelerates electrification, flexibility and grid digitalisation, new mandatory European technical codes are set to reshape distribution networks across all Member States. In this session, Florentien Benedict, Chair of the DSO Entity working group on future technical codes, will outline what is coming and what it means for manufacturers, suppliers and technology providers. Attendees will gain early visibility on how evolving EU requirements will influence product design, compliance and market access across the T&D value chain. 

  • Gain clarity on new requirements covering grid connection, interoperability, digitalisation, cybersecurity, flexibility and decarbonisation. 
  • Explore how the codes will shape technical specifications, materials, testing standards and compliance pathways for transformers and grid-connected equipment. 
  • Identify how manufacturers can anticipate regulatory shifts and adapt R&D, investment and market strategies accordingly 
  • Translate European regulation into practical, actionable insights to ensure competitiveness and seamless access to EU distribution markets.
