Grids of the Future are green, sustainable, and digital

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.
