Conferința “Digitalization of utilities : Blockchain and other technologies”

20 iunie

University Politehnica of Bucharest

Descriere eveniment

It is essential to understand correctly the characteristics of the current transition period and the future of the energy sector, but there are still many uncertainties, as well as progress vectors for new technologies (Internet of Things, Blockchain, Data AI, electricity storage, innovative transport, etc.). It is useful and exciting to discuss these with industry representatives to clarify how these technologies are applied for the benefit of consumers. At the same time, it is important to understand how these things will transform the three dimensions of energy trilemma and will help identify future solutions.

The aim of the event is to facilitate strategic sharing of knowledge between experts from national and international organisations, energy stakeholders and policy shapers, and to clarify the barriers that still lie ahead of new technologies and how to remove them in Romania.

Key driving directions for discussion:

  • Is the Romanian energy sector ready for new digitization technologies?
  • What is the state of implementation of the technologies in Romania?
  • What should be changed in the legislative and regulatory framework for optimal use of new technologies?
  • What future plans do utilities and connected companies have?
  • What impact is expected from the use of new technologies?
