With an emphasis on enabling a resilient, efficient digital grid and delivering best-in-class grid management software and solutions, the business continues to grow, evolve and best position itself to serve utilities, energy users, customers and partners.

"Ruben Llanes is an exceptional choice as the new CEO of Digital Grid, particularly during this pivotal moment in the energy industry's evolution," said Nadege Petit, Chief Innovation Officer of Schneider Electric. "As the world shifts from the traditional grid to a modern grid, embracing new technologies becomes imperative. Digital Grid's commitment to prioritizing customer needs aligns with Llanes' vision to support utilities in enhancing operational efficiency, delivering superior service, and tackling challenges such as power disruptions. Together, we aim to optimize resources, minimize ecological footprints, and maximize grid capacity and adaptability, ensuring a seamless transition towards a modernized grid system."
With a unique portfolio that enables grids of the future, Schneider Electric offers comprehensive solutions for grid operation, ADMS, DERMS, and asset, network and performance management, addressing industry challenges in a holistic approach and shaping a more democratized energy ecosystem.
"I'm looking forward to continuing this important work with this immensely talented team while we evolve our business, grow our ecosystem, and deliver innovative solutions that serve the entire energy value chain," stated Llanes.
