CIGRE Energy Forum Canada 2026 takes place on 21–24 September 2026 in Calgary, Canada, organised by CIGRE Canada (Host: AltaLink). CIGRE's Canadian energy forum at the TELUS Convention Centre brings together global TSOs and HV equipment leaders to discuss grid modernization, large loads, advanced storage, and smart technologies.
Why it matters for grid operators
CIGRE is where transmission engineers compare notes on what actually works. The Canadian forum focuses on grid modernisation, the integration of large loads, advanced storage and the digitalisation of TSO operations. Topology optimisation and AI-assisted congestion management sit squarely in that agenda, and the CIGRE community is one of the most rigorous audiences for anyone claiming that reinforcement learning has a place in the control room.
