Learn global, act local
Power systems may be transforming globally, but solutions are always implemented locally
Regulatory frameworks, network architectures, customer behaviour, climate conditions, and market structures vary from country to country — and often from region to region. While the challenges facing distribution networks are increasingly shared, the way they are addressed must reflect local technical and operational realities.
The strength of a global community
CIGRE brings together technical knowledge and experience from across the world.
Through more than 60 National Committees active in over 90 countries, CIGRE connects distribution professionals to a broad and diverse body of expertise. This global reach enables ideas, lessons learned, and emerging practices to be examined from multiple perspectives — across different system profiles, operating conditions, and regulatory environments.
Knowledge applied where it matters
What makes this global knowledge valuable, is its ability to be applied locally.
CIGRE’s National Committee structure allows professionals to:
- Engage with international thinking, while working within their own system context without the burden of travel.
- Interpret global insights through local technical, regulatory, and operational lenses.
- Access knowledge through publications, working groups, and remote collaboration.
- Contribute expertise in their own language and system environment.
- Feed insights from national and regional systems, back into the global community, helping others understand how similar challenges are being addressed in different contexts.
