Powering the world’s electrification era sustainably

The global energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. The imperative to mitigate climate change, coupled with growing energy demands, is accelerating the world's shift towards electrification. This isn't merely about generating more electricity, but about ensuring this power is sourced, delivered, and consumed securely and sustainably. It’s crucial that the energy transition isn't happening in silos and industries from transportation to tech, real estate to manufacturing, are rethinking how they use and source power. At the heart of this transformation is electrification, underpinned by clean, reliable, and scalable grid infrastructure. As industries, transportation, and daily life increasingly rely on electricity, the need for robust, resilient, and intelligent grids becomes paramount.

 This online panel, Powering the world’s electrification era sustainably, hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Hitachi Energy, is for senior executives, policymakers, investors, and innovators from across the energy sector seeking to explore how industry leaders are advancing electrification and forging a path towards a truly sustainable electrified world. This discussion will act as a prelude to our Energy Transition Summit, which is returning for its 10th anniversary edition in October 2025.
