Show Notes

Across Europe, increasing electrification and the rapid growth of distributed energy resources have pushed regulation and grid operations toward higher levels of visibility, coordination, and data exchange.

In Italy, a regulatory journey that began in 2018 has led to a framework that treats observability as a foundational capability for secure and resilient system operation. To learn more about this journey and how observability and controllability are reshaping grid operations, Pamela Largue speaks to Flavia Serri, Grid Solutions Engineer and Gianluca Sapienza, Head of Grid Engineering Services at Gridspertise.

Serri and Sapienza provide a system-level perspective on how regulatory vision can translate into real-world implementation at scale.

This episode of the Energy Transitions podcast is brought to you in partnership with Gridspertise.
