Cigré Canada 2025

CIGRE, the International Council on Large Electric Systems, is a global collaborative community dedicated to the development and exchange of technical knowledge related to electric power systems: https://www.cigre.org/

It brings together thousands of professionals from more than 90 countries and over 1,250 member organizations, making it one of the most influential technical communities in the sector. CIGRE also leads one of the world’s most respected knowledge development programs, spanning 16 domains that cover every core aspect of power system engineering. Across these domains, more than 250 Working Groups draw on practical experience and scientific expertise to address both current and emerging challenges facing the industry.

From September 29th to October 3rd, La Granja Insulators, together with our North American partner Hubbell Power Systems, participated in the CIGRE International Symposium in Montreal, Canada, exhibiting at booth #623.

This edition of the symposium brought together key global, regional, and local stakeholders from across the electric power systems sector, including industry leaders, grid operators, manufacturers, engineers, researchers, policymakers, regulators, and academic experts. The event provided a premier forum for examining the latest trends shaping the evolving energy landscape, exchanging technical insights, sharing research advancements, and discussing the strategic directions that will define the future of the industry.

In addition to our presence, La Granja Insulators contributed to the technical agenda with the presentation of our paper: “Optimizing Maintenance Operations and Insulation Selection through Insulator Monitoring in Polluted Environments.”
