Event Overview
Your utility needs to transform into a digital utility and meet the net zero mandate of the state of California. This energy transition on an industrial scale makes distributed energy resources a business imperative for grid stability and reliability.
Infosys walks you through a clean energy transition at DistribuTECH 2025. Our experts navigate a grid transformation to address regulatory and consumer needs.
DistribuTECH, the annual transmission and distribution event showcases cutting-edge technologies for T&D systems. Infosys is sponsoring ‘The Speaker Hub’, where we are hosting sessions with industry experts on energy transition and vegetation management.
California is pivoting to renewable energy and carbon neutrality by 2045. This regulatory mandate demands that businesses accelerate decarbonization and utilities implement a clean energy transition.
Utilities need to modernize their grids by leveraging Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), while ensuring grid resilience and energy security. The existing utilities IT estate lacks the digital foundational blocks to enable this transition on an industrial scale and speed. Experts from Southern California Edison and Infosys navigate a grid transformation by focusing on a suite of digital technologies to comply with decarbonization / net zero targets and meet the energy needs of digital consumers.
