Cigre 2026

23-28 August 2026

Every two years, CIGRE delivers the world’s foremost collaborative knowledge development and sharing programme for the power system sector. Through extensive remote collaboration and periodic face-to-face events, experts from around the globe contribute to advancing the industry. This unique programme culminates in the Paris Session – the leading international gathering for power system expertise.

Held in Paris in even-numbered years, the Session attracts around 9,000 participants from more than 100 countries, including over 3,600 international experts and decision-makers. Over the course of a week, delegates take part in:

  • 160+ working meetings
  • 30+ Study Committee sessions
  • 900+ technical papers covering the full breadth of the power system

It is a one-of-a-kind interactive platform to exchange knowledge, debate challenges, and shape the future of energy.

This year TNEI has 7 papers at the event:
