Horstmann at the energy industry forum

At the 7th Energy Industry Forum in St. Leon-Rot, we presented our solutions for the digitalization of grids and discussed the challenges and opportunities of expanding the energy infrastructure with around 1,200 visitors.

Focus on the digitalization of networks: Gritec review

Yesterday the 7th Energy Industry Forum took place in St. Leon-Rot, organized by Gritec.

We were delighted to be there as an exhibitor. Our team with Matthias Beermann, Andre Schmidt, Jochen Holterhues, Andre Gerits, Marianna Schröter and Olaf Zugehoehr was on site and presented our holistic solutions for the digitalization of networks.

Everything important at a glance:

  • Around 60 exhibitors

  • 1200 visitors

  • 5 presentations on the topic of future networks + panel discussion

Efficient grids are the key to successfully implementing the energy, heating and mobility transition! There has been much discussion about how we can meet the challenges of the climate targets and which technical and legal framework conditions underlie this. The fact is that a massive expansion of the grid is necessary and a sharp increase in demand for primary and secondary technology is to be expected in the coming years. Intelligent transmission technologies will enable energy suppliers to plan and operate distribution grids in such a way that feed-in and load are always in balance. Does that sound like a vision for the future? In fact, we already offer several products in the field of short-circuit and earth fault indicators that do just that – ComPassD, SigmaDM, SigmaL.

A big thank you to the Gritec team for the organization and the important impulses on the topic.

We are already looking forward to the next Gritec in-house exhibition on 07.05.2026 – this time we will bring good weather with us.
