EUTC invites you to a special one-day Cybersecurity Workshop on November 13 in Paris. This event will occur during the same time as European Utility Week, November 12-14, also in Paris.
New cybersecurity regulation, new threats, and new technology mean that the future will not resemble the past. Now is a key time for European utilities and their technology partners to plan their cybersecurity programs for the next decade.
Join EUTC and its members as we explore the changing world of cybersecurity, and to understand how utilities can survive this new reality. This one-day workshop will include sessions on compliance with the European Union’s Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive, supply chain risk, cases studies of utility cybersecurity deployments, and how to match the appropriate level of security to different asset types. Utilities and technology providers that need to optimize smart grid cybersecurity will especially benefit from this workshop.

EUTC is holding a 5G event in Brussels on 26th June 2019. The event will be utility focused and covered not only by the potential use cases for 5G technology in the utility sector and smart grids but also the opportunity represented by the requirements of the utility community to shape the development of 5G standards and associated future LTE releases.
There will be a focus sessions on key areas including – business cases for 5G incorporation within the utility sector (passive and active infrastructure), process for influencing utility-specific 5G functionality (via 3GPP), hybrid private / public integration, spectrum allocations and synergies with other verticals (automotive, rail, healthcare etc.). The event will be attended by a range of leading presenters and delegates representing the entire 5G eco-system from end users in key verticals, standards bodies, chipset manufacturers, policy makers, regulators and system vendors / integrators.
The event will build upon themes highlighted in the recent UTC whitepaper on 5G, which you can find here.
Registrations are now open. If you wish to register to the EUTC Workshop click here.

EUTC’s spectrum workshop will be held in the EUTC offices in Brussels on 24th April. It will focus on key areas of radio spectrum related to current and future applications demanded by the utility sector. The subjects covered will include:
Each interactive session will be initiated by a short presentation from an industry expert followed by discussions with all participants on each topic. The group will facilitate sharing of ideas and advise of current related EUTC activities – as well as taking suggestions for new areas requiring attention by EUTC. The workshop represents a networking opportunity for sharing ideas with thought leaders from the European Utility sector.
The closest metro station is Montgomery, line 1 direction Stockel.
Around 30 minutes from the airport by car.

SGTech Europe 2019
Smart Grid Innovation Project Exchange
Digital Substations · SCADA Integration · Utility Telecom · Cyber Security
3-Day Conference, Exhibition & Networking Forum
26-28 March 2019 | Amsterdam
SGTech Europe 2019, the Smart Grid Innovation Project Exchange takes place 26-28 March 2019 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Now in its 3rd edition, this intensive multi-track conference draws together 250+ smart grid technical professionals for a review of 40+ utility implementation and innovation case studies, in the digital substation, next generation SCADA system, utility packet telecoms and cyber-security domains.
Opening with a morning of strategic plenary sessions, power grid digitisation leaders discuss the big trends impacting the evolution of the smart grid. Senior representatives from National Grid, Enedis, Orsted, Stedin, Vattenfall and EDP among others, reveal how they are making technology choices in light of new trends in the areas of IoT, AI, and Blockchain, to become fully data driven organisations.
The programme then breaks into three parallel technical tracks focused on the latest innovations and implementations of digital substations, SCADA systems, and utility telecoms. Day three deep-dives into the cyber-security opportunities and challenges facing smart grid IT and OT colleagues.
Alongside the case-study driven conference programme, there are a number of technology innovation panel discussions, end-user focused round table debates, live demo labs of the latest digitation tools and technologies, a solution zone displaying 20+ suppliers of smart grid solutions, and a networking evening reception open to all participants.

TRANSPORTATION
Malmö Airport is a small airport with regular flights only to Stockholm and low-cost flights to several airports in central and eastern Europe.
The easiest would be to fly into Copenhagen Airport and there you can take a direct train to Malmö (about 30 minutes).
MALMO DESCRIPTION
Malmö is the capital and largest city of the Swedish county of Scania. The metropolis is a gamma world city and is the third largest city in Sweden, after Stockholm and Gothenburg, and the sixth largest city in Scandinavia, with a population of above 300,000. Malmö was one of the earliest and most industrialized towns of Scandinavia, but it struggled with the adaptation to post-industrialism. Since the construction of the Öresund Bridge, Malmö has undergone a major transformation with architectural developments, and it has attracted new biotech and IT companies, and particularly students through Malmö University, founded in 1998. The city contains many historic buildings and parks, and is also a commercial centre for the western part of Scania.
MORE INFORMATION COMING SOON

Following the decision for 450MHz frequencies to be utilised for critical infrastructure in energy and water in Poland, PGE Group have announced their intention to invest in establishing a 450MHz communication network with LTE technology, following various successful pilots.
These efforts are made to substitute the legacy Tetra system to incorporate LTE 450MHz frequency for the energy industry in Poland, allowing for increased robustness and security of the network and energy supply. For more information, please click here.
The success builds upon other recent national spectrum allocations for private smart grid LTE deployment – Germany and Ireland have also made awards in the 400 and 450 MHz, with the Spanish regulator confirming an allocation at 2.3 GHz in July 2020. EUTC is pleased to have been able to play a part in these significant outcomes through a range of persistent and sustained lobbying at Global, EU and national level.

450connect GmbH is Germany’s sole license holder and operator of 450 MHz radio frequencies. Goal of the company is to quickly establish a nationwide mobile network based on LTE technology (4G and 5G) for digitalizing German energy and water utilities as well as other critical infrastructures. The 450MHz radio network is a crucial requirement for a secure and highly available communication of millions of critical machine-to-machine (M2M) applications and thus for the successful energy transition and transformation. Equal shareholders of 450connect are: the largest Dutch energy network operator Alliander, a consortium of regional energy providers, E.ON and Versorger-Allianz 450, to which numerous public utilities, energy and water suppliers with the participation of the EnBW subsidiary Netze BW belong.
