Putrajaya, Malaysia
Organized by
TNB Research and IERETechnologies reshaping the electricity supply industry
About the theme
The electricity supply industry has been facing many challenges worldwide. The issues includes
challenges to produce, transmit, and use energy in an environmentally acceptable and sustainable
manner. At the same time, the electricity supply industry needs to reduce its costs by improving
operating efficiency and business practices with digital world becoming the forefront tools inreshaping the operating model in the future. In addition, the industry also needs to ensure
customer satisfaction beyond the traditional supply reliability and power quality. Hence, researchand development on new and enabling technologies plays a major role in shaping the future
directions of electricity supply industry.

Who should attend?
The workshop is intended for experts actively involved in the selected themes, from IERE
members and non-members, as well as all those interested in the evolution of the electrical
power industry and the technology development and business development opportunities
associated to this evolution. IERE will invite prominent speakers for keynote speeches.

General Theme: Technologies reshaping the electricity supply
industry
The world of commodities of oil, gas and metal soaring have showed a very substantial
disruption over the past 15 years. With the technological innovation such as the adoption ofrobotics, artificial intelligence, Internet of things (IoT) and data analysis rising rapidly thateventually transform the resources utilization.
Recently, as more energy efficiency technologies takes place on the demand side, theconsumption of energy becoming less intense. In addition, technological advances are helping tobring down the cost of renewable energies, such as solar and wind energy, contributing to its
greater role in global energy mix. On the supply side, the advancement of technology also raising
the ability of these companies to deploy wider range of technologies in future.
The volatility of energy resources is expected to takes place in coming years, with the prices may
diverge widely. This trend will strongly depends on the adoption of technology innovation,energy producers and policy makers, as such will reshape the electricity supply industry for the
future.

Session Themes:>Session 1: The road to low carbon economy
In achieving Paris Agreement, it has been stated that the inclination trends of carbon
emission and carbon intensity need to be curbs and balance with the development,
implementation of renewable energy as well as carbon capture, storage and utilization(CCUS) technology. As such will leads the road to low carbon economy. This session enables
the speakers to share the research findings on low carbon economy and related matters.
Potential topics includes:• Renewable Energy• Carbon Capture, Storage & Utilization• Energy Efficiency & Energy Infrastructure• Institutional frameworks / roadmap>Session 2: Customer experience at the heart of next generation operatingmodel
New technology and digital age is reshaping client involvement in practically every part. As
the technology enter the markets, it comes with drastically new offers and disturbing theconventional ways that organizations deal with customer. The next generation operating
model for customer experience will required setting a high bar for simplicity, personalization,and interactivity. This session enables the speakers to share the experienced and researchfindings on next generation operating model with customer experience will the pinnacles
factor. Potential topics include:• Mobile apps & Smart home
• Smart Meter & Smart Grid
• Strategy for customers satisfaction.
• Modifications of fundamental practices.
• Alteration the way employees work.

>Session 3: Next generation operating model for the digital world
The next generation operating model for the digital world required a companies to be moreagile, quicker to react and more effective to deliver great customer experiences, takeadvantage of new technologies to cut cost, improve quality and transparency, and build value.
Such a way in achieving it by providing compelling customer experiences at lower cost. Thissession enables the speakers to share the experienced and research findings on the next
generation operating model for the digital world and related matters. Potential topics include:• Lean process design• Digitization• Intelligent process automation• Advance analytics• Business process outsourcing
