Enable energy-efficient power grids
Grids of the Future are sustainable, digital, and flexible
Grids of tomorrow are powered by data and integrated network models. They are more sustainable, resilient, efficient, and flexible. Digitally planned, designed, equipped, and operated, they support the growth of DERs, microgrids, energy communities, and other flexible resources through optimized orchestration across the lifecycle. At Schneider Electric, this is our vision of the next generation network: green and digital.
Europe experiences up to 20% technical losses in its energy power systems.
Power outages and interruptions in the US result in an initial cost of $150 billion.
Power grids are expected to generate 75 times more big data in 2025 vs. 2020.

What's new in power grids?
1. What are sustainable grids?
As environmental threats show an alarming rise, everyone is starting to be more focused on energy preservation. As a result, more and more people are opting for renewable and sustainable energy resources to power their homes and industries. In order to safeguard the future of the planet, Schneider Electric brings to you Grids of the Future. These are smart alternatives to traditional electricity grids. Sustainable grids allow you to communicate, analyze, control, and monitor within the energy supply chain, resulting in reduced costs, enhanced transparency, and improved system efficiency.
2. What is the importance of sustainable grids?
Sustainable grids contribute immensely to increasing the efficiency and productivity levels of the industrial sector. They are data-integrated network models that are flexible, secure, reliable, remotely manageable, and digitally equipped. Sustainable grids, or green grids, play a vital role in supporting the growth of microgrids, energy communities, DER’s, and other resources across the digitally designed and planned lifecycle. At Schneider Electric, our experts skillfully design Grids of the Future for them to be fully equipped and capable of mitigating power outages by FLISR, improving grid reliability through digital technology, and diminishing environmental footprint.
