Shaping Europe’s Future Energy System

Join IFS Copperleaf at Future Grid & AI Data Centres Europe 2026, a two-day conference bringing together senior leaders from across the energy, grid, data centre and technology sectors to explore the future of Europe’s energy infrastructure.

Europe’s energy system is entering a period of significant transformation. The rapid growth of renewables, electrification, AI and high-density data centres is creating new demands on grid infrastructure, while organizations face increasing pressure to make the right investment decisions in a complex and rapidly changing environment.

IFS Copperleaf helps utilities and critical infrastructure operators bring greater clarity and confidence to these decisions, enabling them to evaluate competing priorities, understand trade-offs and create transparent, defensible investment plans.

Join us at Future Grid & AI Data Centres Europe to explore how Asset Investment Planning can help organizations make better investment decisions as the energy system evolves.

European Grid Leaders Roundtable

Future Grids in Europe: AI-Driven Transformation, Flexibility and System Architecture for the Next Energy Era

September 29, 2026 | 11:00–11:50

Join Michael Bouet, Strategic Account Executive at IFS Copperleaf, as he moderates a discussion with senior grid leaders from across Europe.

The roundtable will explore how Europe’s energy system is evolving in response to renewable generation, electrification, new demand centres and the rapid growth of AI and data centre infrastructure.

The discussion will cover:

• Reimagining future European grid architecture — Explore the evolving roles of TSOs, DSOs and integrated utilities.
• Integrating new sources of demand — Consider the impact of large-scale renewables, electrification and new demand centres.
• Enabling next-generation digital infrastructure — Discuss the requirements of AI clusters and high-density energy users.
• Maximising network capacity — Explore grid-enhancing technologies, flexibility markets and digital solutions that can support a more adaptable energy system.

The panel brings together senior representatives from 50Hertz, Svenska kraftnät, Statnett, Energinet, Fingrid, Litgrid and ENTSO-E.
