As grids expand, renewable capacity accelerates, and demand from EVs, data centres, and industry intensifies, transmission and distribution infrastructure has become mission critical. CWIEME Berlin is where the technologies, manufacturers, and decision-makers behind that infrastructure come together.
From transformers and grid equipment to materials, insulation, testing, and manufacturing technologies, CWIEME connects the full electrical manufacturing ecosystem enabling modern transmission, distribution and electrification at scale — for utilities, OEMs, and infrastructure leaders worldwide.
The vision is to create a working environment where utilities, OEMs, manufacturers, and innovators can align on the realities of grid delivery. This includes performance, availability, sustainability, and long-term reliability across power networks.
CWIEME Berlin brings transmission and distribution out of the margins and places it alongside motors, manufacturing, and electrification as a core pillar of the event.
This is where:
We're designed to support the real priorities facing utilities, TSOs, and DSOs as electrification accelerates.If you're responsible for planning, operating, or future-proofing power networks, CWIEME Berlin gives you direct access to the manufacturing and technology decisions behind grid performance.
At CWIEME Berlin, utilities and grid operators can:
Meet transformer manufacturers, materials specialists, and technology providers in one place, and understand how supply, design, and performance choices affect delivery timelines and asset life.

Engage directly with suppliers across cores, insulation, conductors, testing, and monitoring to discuss lead times, scalability, and resilience.
Compare technologies for efficiency, reliability, sustainability, and digitalisation side by side, rather than in isolation.
Hear how manufacturers and peers are responding to evolving efficiency requirements, eco-design directives, and emissions targets.

Join closed-door roundtables and club sessions designed specifically for utility and grid leaders, focused on shared challenges rather than sales pitches.

Whether you are managing active infrastructure programmes or planning long-term grid investment, CWIEME Berlin helps inform decisions with real-world insight.
A dedicated space for senior grid and power sector leaders, the Club offers invite-only access for utilities, TSOs, DSOs, and senior OEM leaders, curated introductions with relevant manufacturers and suppliers, closed-door roundtables built around shared challenges and more.
As part of CWIEME’s expansion into the Transmission & Distribution sector, the Transmission & Distribution Club will host a series of peer-to-peer technical roundtables – small, focused discussions led by industry leaders and designed for open, practical exchange.
Each roundtable will bring together experts from transformer manufacturers, TSOs/DSOs and utility organisations to explore real project challenges, share best practice and compare approaches across the grid value chain.
This programme offers a holistic view of the T&D ecosystem:
Agenda subject to final confirmation
Keynote session
Advancing resilient, affordable, and clean energy through transmission and distribution innovation
Prof. Henrik Stiesdal, widely regarded as a pioneer of modern wind power, shares how innovation in T&D can unlock reliability, flexibility, and scalability across renewable energy networks. Drawing on decades of leadership at Siemens Wind Power and academic insight from DTU, Stiesdal explores how rethinking T&D systems is essential to delivering electrification at scale.
Additional sessions include...
Future-proofing the grid: strategies for a resilient energy transition
How utilities, OEMs, and regulators are preparing transmission and distribution systems for unprecedented loads from renewables, EVs, and industrial electrification.
Securing the T&D supply chain: materials, manufacturing, and workforce
An examination of risks and opportunities across the transformer and T&D value chain, from raw materials to skilled labour.
Sustainability and efficiency: reinventing transformers for net zero
How design innovation, material science, and systems thinking are reshaping transformers and grid assets under tightening regulatory pressure.
Digitalisation and smart grid intelligence: from sensors to AI
The role of digital tools in monitoring, managing, and optimising grid assets across their lifecycle.
Shaping tomorrow’s grids: international strategies for energy systems
A cross-regional perspective on transmission and distribution challenges, policy responses, and infrastructure investment.
Utilities, asset managers, engineers, procurement leaders, and innovators will come together to share experiences and shape future infrastructure decisions.
Hear from Prof. Henrik Stiesdal at CWIEME Berlin 2026
Prof. Henrik Stiesdal will be part of the transmission & distribution conversation, bringing a system-level perspective on renewable integration and grid readiness.
For transmission and distribution leaders, CWIEME provides direct access to the technologies and partners shaping grid resilience and expansion. Whether your focus is capacity expansion, efficiency, asset life extension, or sustainability compliance, CWIEME Berlin brings the full transformer and T&D value chain together in one place.

Power and distribution transformer manufacturers
Core, insulation, conductor, and materials specialists
Automation, testing, monitoring, and quality technologies
OEMs and system integrators supporting grid modernisation
CWIEME Berlin introduced the Transmission and Distribution Club for the first time. The response from utilities, TSOs, DSOs, and grid-focused manufacturers confirmed what the industry was already signalling: the power grid needs a platform that connects infrastructure outcomes directly to manufacturing capability.
CWIEME Berlin builds on that momentum. Working closely with industry leaders and knowledge partners, the transmission and distribution offering expands to include an enhanced T&D Club, content and roundables.This expansion does not replace CWIEME’s heritage. It extends it.
CWIEME Berlin will continue to grow its role within the power sector. Plans are already underway to further expand the transmission and distribution focus in 2027, with broader scope, deeper engagement, and new formats to be announced in the coming months.
CWIEME Berlin brings together the entire electrical manufacturing landscape supporting electrification. Enquire about exhibiting in 2026 or get your visitor ticket now.
