SUMMARY:Forum:  Inaugural EEA Substation Forum
DESCRIPTION:Who should attend?\nEngineers and technical specialists involved in substation design and engineering\, from senior/principal engineers through to graduates and early-career professionals. \nThe forum is primarily focused on distribution networks and large energy users (and their consultants) but will also be highly relevant to those working in transmission. \nPurpose \n\nLift visibility and alignment on current challenges facing substation design and engineering across Aotearoa\nPromote standardisation\, consistency\, and continuous improvement in how substations are designed\, engineered and managed\nIdentify and prioritise areas for a long term\, sector wide work programme coordinated through the EEA’s new national substations working group\n\nOverview \n\nMorning – Panel sessions and guest speakers providing industry perspectives\, challenges\, emerging risks\, and opportunities.\nAfternoon: An interactive workshop to confirm priority issues\, capture practical insights\, and shape the forward work programme\nFlexible attendance – Morning sessions will be particularly valuable for young engineers and those seeking sector context; participants are welcome to attend the morning only.\n\nSubstation Forum_Inaugural – 26 March 2026 \nExpressions of interest:  Speakers\nWe are inviting expressions of interest from participants willing to share insights\, experiences\, and perspectives as part of our morning panel sessions. \nEmail to admin@eea.co.nz \n\nProposed Panels\nOpening Panel: The challenge and the opportunity \n\nA sector-level conversation on the key challenges facing substation design and engineering today and the collective opportunities to lift performance through alignment and collaboration\n\nStandardised Substation Design Templates (Primary Systems) \n\nExploring how national design templates for common substation types can streamline delivery\, improve quality\, and reduce duplication across the industry\n\nSecondary Systems & Protection \n\nA focused discussion on modern protection philosophies\, interoperability\, digital substations\, and cybersecurity requirements to support safe\, future-ready system operations\n\nResilience and Climate Adaptation \n\nExamining how substation design can better address climate risks\, resilience expectations\, and redundancy needs to ensure long-term network reliability\n\nCapability and Workforce \n\nIdentifying the skills\, training pathways\, and capability-building initiatives needed to develop the next generation of substation engineers\n\nRegistration\nFollow the link below to register for this course.
