Trilliant Highlights Smart Grid Innovation at Enlit Asia Webinar

Trilliant recently joined a distinguished panel of energy leaders at the Enlit Asia webinar, “Smarter Grids: Leveraging Digitalization in Powering Asia’s Net Zero,” to explore how digitalization is transforming asset energy management across the region.

Held on June 12, 2025, Trilliant hosted a webinar featuring Eugene Loke, our Managing Director for APAC, who shared insights on the strategic role of digital technologies in modernizing distribution networks and accelerating Asia’s energy transition.

“Digitalization is not just a tool—it’s a catalyst for accelerating Asia’s energy transition,” said Loke. “By modernizing distribution networks and embracing smart technologies, we can build a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy future.”

The webinar covered key themes including:  The role of distribution networks in decarbonization; Innovations in smart metering and digital platforms; Regional case studies on grid modernization; and Investment and policy frameworks for transformation.

As Asia accelerates its path to net zero, the digitalization of power distribution is emerging as a critical yet often overlooked enabler. The panel discussion included participation from:

1. Anton Perdices, COO, Aboitiz Power, Distribution Utilities in Philippines
2. Ignatius Rendroyoko, EVP, Distribution Strategic Planning, PLN Indonesia
3. Pongsakorn Yutagovit, Deputy Governor, Planning and Engineering, PEA Thailand
4. Eugene Loke, Managing Director for APAC at Trilliant
5. Zhenhui Eng, Director, Baringa partners (as moderator)

Trilliant, along with these experts from Indonesia’s PLN, the Philippines’ Aboitiz Power, and Thailand’s PEA, shared how smart grid technologies like advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) are transforming utility operations, enabling real-time data, outage management, and customer engagement.

While each utility is tailoring its approach to local needs, all agreed that smart distribution is essential for building a resilient, efficient, and future-ready energy system. Despite cost challenges, the long-term benefits in reliability, clean energy integration, and customer empowerment make a compelling case for investment.

As a Diamond Sponsor of Enlit Asia 2025, Trilliant continues to champion collaboration and innovation in the energy sector.

This webinar marks the beginning of a series of critical conversations leading up to the main event in Bangkok this September 9-11.
