Global electricity demand is accelerating, driven by electrification, renewables, and increasingly complex power flows. Expanding supply today is no longer just a question of building more assets – it is about how quickly, flexibly, and securely systems can adapt as conditions change.

As operators look to meet this growing demand, a significant opportunity is emerging to unlock greater capacity, flexibility, and resilience from existing infrastructure. The question is: how can organizations harness software defined automation to accelerate capacity growth and unlock more value from existing assets?

Reuters Events Webinar, in partnership with GE Vernova, explores how the evolution of the grid architecture and digital substations is reshaping the path towards virtualization.

Join the discussion to:

• Explore how accelerating flexible protection, automation and control architectures can enable faster, lower-risk capacity expansion. 
• Map the practical steps needed to build the roadmap toward virtualized grids, from integrating data and applying AI driven insights to designing platforms capable of evolving alongside technology maturity and regulatory change. 
• Consider how long-term collaboration between utilities, technology partners, and data centers can enable leaner substation designs, fewer devices, and more resilient operations, keeping power flowing reliably as grid needs evolve.
