Reasons to sponsor the Grid Delivery Summit
The leaders driving the shift from grid ambition to grid delivery will be at the Grid Delivery Summit. Put your brand where the industry is gathering, meet the people who move projects forward, and be part of the conversation about how the grid gets built.
Who will be at the Grid Delivery Summit?
Utility Network Delivery Leaders
Primary objectives
- Meet regulatory deadlines and price-control milestones
- Keep substation and line projects on time and on budget
- Give the regulator and board confidence in your delivery
- Build a reliable pipeline of contractors, EPCs and suppliers
Key challenges
- Longer transformer lead times
- Switchgear and other critical kit are now multi-year buys
- Aligning EPCs, OEMs and engineering around one tight schedule
- No clear view of true manufacturing capacity when you commit
Why be in the room
One of the only forums built around delivery execution, the Grid Delivery Summit lets you press manufacturers and EPCs on real lead times, alongside peers facing the same pressures across Europe.
TSO/DSO Grid Connections & Delivery Leader
Primary objectives
- Clear the connections backlog while keeping the system secure
- Reinforce the network fast enough for electrification, data centres and renewables
- Meet Europe's new regulatory milestones and commitment-fee rules Keep the queue fair and transparent under scrutiny
Key challenges
- Demand applications are up, mostly data centres and electrification
- Reinforcements stuck behind the same multi-year transformer and switchgear lead times
- Weighing developer pressure against real capacity limits
- Pressure to speed up connections without losing rigour
Why be in the room
The Grid Delivery Summit is a credible place to press manufacturers on lead times and benchmark against European peers under the same queue pressure.
EPC Infrastructure Delivery Leaders
Primary objectives
- Hit contracted delivery milestones despite equipment shortages
- Protect margin on fixed-price contracts against inflating lead times and costs
- Maintain strong OEM relationships to secure priority allocation when capacity is scarce
- Win repeat framework business from utility, TSO and DSO clients
Key challenges
- Caught between client deadlines and OEM lead times nearing five years for large transformers
- Can't go outside client-approved vendors, even when they're capacity-constrained
- Owning the schedule risk even when the cause is upstream s
- Pressure to speed up connections without losing rigour
Why be in the room
Secure priority allocation from OEMs and hear pipeline ahead of tender rather than chasing suppliers one by one.
Data Centre Power Infrastructure Leaders
Primary objectives
- Secure a bankable grid connection date
- Avoid commitment-fee exposure on delayed projects
- Weigh on-site generation, storage and private wire as alternatives
- De-risk timelines against lead times that now rival construction
Key challenges
- Data centre applications are increasing, with new fees and milestones
- Transformer and equipment lead times constrain buildout
- Managing a relationship with grid operators blamed on data centre congestion
- Balancing sustainability goals against the scale of power needed
Why be in the room
Meet the TSOs and DSOs controlling the timeline and the suppliers behind on-site alternatives, in a summit that treats data centres as part of the solution.
Explore sponsorship & strategic partnership opportunities
Put your business at the centre of Europe's evolving power grid. The Grid Delivery Summit brings together the decision-makers who control delivery across the transmission and distribution ecosystem: TSOs, DSOs, utilities, OEMs, manufacturers, suppliers and technology providers.
Co-located with CWIEME Berlin at Messe Berlin, 27-28 April 2027, the Grid Delivery Summit brings together decision makers and solution providers to solve grid delivery challenges.
Businesses that supply equipment, technology or expertise behind grid infrastructure delivery, whether transformers, switchgear, substations, smart grid systems, storage, cybersecurity, testing or engineering services.
Utilities, TSOs, DSOs, asset managers, network planners, procurement leaders, engineers, EPCs and contractors, project delivery leaders, transformer and switchgear manufacturers, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, grid technology providers, and data centre power infrastructure leaders.
As grid investment accelerates across Europe, sponsorship gives you direct access to the people shaping project pipelines, specifications and supplier decisions, in a setting built around solving delivery challenges rather than general industry discussion.
The Grid Delivery Summit is co-located with CWIEME Berlin and focuses specifically on how grid infrastructure gets delivered, from planning and procurement to manufacturing capacity and project execution.
Yes. Sponsors can engage directly with asset managers, network planners, engineers and procurement leaders from grid operators, making it an effective way to build relationships with organisations that are often difficult to reach.
Yes. EPCs, contractors and project delivery leaders attend the Grid Delivery Summit to meet transformer and equipment manufacturers, and discuss capacity, lead times and project requirements.
Through visibility across the summit and engagement with a senior, specialist audience, sponsors can demonstrate technical expertise, share insight on delivery challenges, and strengthen their reputation.
Sponsors can connect with decision makers throughout the event, from summit sessions and networking breaks to dedicated opportunities to meet utilities, grid operators, EPCs and procurement leaders.
The Grid Delivery Summit, co-located with CWIEME Berlin from 27-28 April 2027, is specifically dedicated to grid infrastructure delivery.
