From Reactive to Proactive Capacity Management in DSOs

How DSOs Can Stay Ahead of Emerging Grid Constraints: Lessons from Siemens and Alliander

Distribution Grid Operations Leaders, Capacity Planners, and Grid Digitalization Experts at DSOs.

European distribution grids are entering a new phase in which capacity challenges are no longer confined to long-term planning but increasingly impact daily operations. Rising electrification, growing connection requests, and localized congestion are forcing DSOs to act earlier and with greater precision.

In this live session, Alliander - one of the largest distribution system operators in the Netherlands - and Siemens share practical operational lessons on how utilities are evolving from reactive responses to more proactive, risk-based capacity management. The discussion explores how short-term forecasting, improved grid visibility, and flexibility can work together to help operators anticipate emerging constraints and prioritize targeted actions.

Join this conversation to understand what is changing in real control rooms today - and what DSOs can do to buy valuable time to act.

Join this live session with experts from Alliander and Siemens to explore how DSOs can move from reactive to proactive capacity management.
