Ahead of the conference, Patricio Villard, Vice President Product Management, Industrial, Commercial and Smart Grid at Landis+Gyr and speaker at this year’s InnoGrid2020+ event highlighted: “We are pleased to help Europe address its electricity network challenges in a time of great change. We do that by bringing solutions for data management, energy storage in the context of the Internet of Things and grid digitization to the table – all of which are key attributes in providing energy infrastructure fit for a digital future.”

Patricio Villard will give a presentation entitled, ‘Grid Digitization: Facilitating the Future Energy Market Model’.
