Takeaways from the SmartNet Workshops

Nov 16, 2018

On 24-26 October 2018 in Florence, several stakeholders from TSOs/DSOs, Regulators, Utilities and Traders joined the SmartNet Workshops hosted by the Florence School of Regulation to discover the latest results of the Horizon200 project on a subject that has a global relevance: the integration of the growing number of distributed energy resources (DER) and the coordination of the transmission and distribution electricity systems.  Each day, different perspectives and interests of the audience were taken into account by the SmartNet team and the workshops turned out to be a fruitful chance to hear important feedback from the participants.
