The Value We Provide
Connecting power system professionals with the knowledge and solutions they need
There are many advantages to belonging to and participating in CIGRE's world. Our members tell us there are nine key advantages that stand out. For individual professionals, collective members, and their broader organizations, each advantage is enabled and backed by CIGRE's organization, program, and deliverables. Watch the video summary of the nine or continue reading.
1. Be Prepared for the Future CIGRE's unique structure and approach connects members to an industry future perspective that is simply not accessible from within a single organization.
2. Learn from Real-World Experience, Lessons, and Successes As a global, collaborative community of pragmatic professionals, CIGRE members share best practices, technical expertise, and solutions, while engaging in open and inclusive discussion and debate about their real-world experience, lessons, and successes.
3. Inform Your Decisions with Diverse Perspectives from Around the World To make optimal decisions in your home power system, it's essential to take a global perspective on environmental approaches, legislation, regulation, technologies, and markets. CIGRE's unique global network provides diverse perspectives.
4. Solve Local Challenges At CIGRE's core are 61 National Committees (NCs) spanning over 90 countries. National Committees are volunteer-driven local organizations. They implement CIGRE's global strategic and technical programs to develop solutions for power system challenges. Solutions are shared across CIGRE's global network but ultimately implemented locally.
5. Access the Most Authoritative Information Like the organization itself, CIGRE publications stand alone as an authoritative technical source of practical power system knowledge and solutions.
6. Get Unbiased Facts CIGRE's fact-based approach is completely unbiased, vendor-neutral, and open to inclusive and honest discussion and debate on all issues, trends, and challenges facing the electricity industry.
7. Access World-Leading Experts The caliber of CIGRE members is very high. Key CIGRE roles are filled by leading technical professionals who have built their expertise through many years of power system experience and are often internationally recognized by senior peers as world leaders.
8. Develop Your Skills Develop your personal and organizational skills through CIGRE's unique peer-to-peer environment and extensive training and education opportunities.
9. Connect with Your Industry in a Technical Environment Develop your personal and organizational network, profile, and influence through participation in CIGRE events, working groups, and writing and editing reports and brochures.
