The European Utilities Telecom Council (EUTC) made its debut with its own stand at Enlit Europe 2025, marking an important step in showcasing our work to strengthen telecommunications for Europe’s utilities. The event offered an excellent opportunity to present our latest initiatives, share insights with industry leaders, and highlight the critical role of robust connectivity in enabling reliable, digitalised energy grids.
Throughout the event, EUTC engaged with participants at our stand, fostering technical discussions, knowledge exchange, and new collaborations. The strong engagement highlighted the importance of collaboration across the sector to ensure Europe’s energy infrastructure is resilient, secure, and future-ready.
Launch of the EUTC and Ericsson White Paper
A key milestone at the event was the launch of the joint EUTC-Ericsson White Paper on energy grid resilience. Highlighting lessons from recent blackouts across Europe, the white paper explores actionable strategies for building more secure and resilient networks to support the continent’s energy transition.
The findings were presented during a press briefing at Enlit’s Inspire Stage by Adrian Grilli, EUTC Technology Advisor, and Pilar Rodríguez López from Ericsson, followed by a panel discussion with industry and regulatory leaders. Read the full white paper and open letter here.
EUTC speaking at the Digitalisation Hub
In addition to our exhibition presence, EUTC led and participated in the session “Telecoms: Powering Utility Operations”, moderated by Adrian Grilli and introduced by Board Member Alberto Sendin. Panelists from Enedis, E-REDES, Alliander, and Iberdrola discussed how hybrid technologies, satellites (LEO), private 4G/5G networks, fibre, radio, Broadband PLC, and software-defined networks are shaping the future of utility telecoms.
The session reinforced that resilient connectivity is essential for the reliable digitalisation of energy grids, while interoperability, spectrum harmonisation, and professional telecom networks remain central to sector resilience.
