Delivering the Future Grid: Electrification, Storage & Digitalization

14 Oct 2025
Energy & Circular Carbon Economy Forum

As the MENA region scales up its renewable energy capacity and diversifies its power generation, the grid must evolve in tandem. Electrification of industry and transport, alongside large-scale energy storage, will be critical to balancing supply and demand, decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors, and ensuring long-term energy security. At the same time, digitalisation will provide the intelligence, flexibility, and real-time coordination needed to manage a more dynamic, distributed energy system. This panel will explore how electrification, storage, and digital innovation are converging to shape the future grid.

Confirmed Speakers
