Where grid strategy meets manufacturing and supply chain reality
Launching at CWIEME Berlin 2027, the Grid Delivery Summit focuses on the industry’s biggest challenge: execution.
As grid investment accelerates, delivering infrastructure at scale now depends on alignment across the organisations responsible for planning, building, and supplying the grid. This is where operators, EPCs, OEMs, and suppliers come together to remove bottlenecks and move from plan to delivery.
What is the Grid Delivery Summit?
A 2-day high-level, working forum focused on turning grid plans into operational infrastructure.
The Grid Delivery Summit connects the full value chain—from raw materials and components through to transformers, systems, and network deployment—so that decisions made at strategy level translate into real-world delivery outcomes.
Because grid delivery doesn’t fail on vision. It fails in coordination, capacity, and execution.
The Summit will address:

Manufacturing bottlenecks
Limited transformer capacity, testing constraints, and lack of standardisation are slowing deployment and increasing project risk.

Supply chain pressure
Critical materials—including electrical steel, copper, and insulation—remain constrained, impacting availability, pricing, and timelines across the value chain.

Execution risk
From procurement through to installation, misalignment across stakeholders continues to delay delivery.
