CIGRE operates the world’s foremost power system knowledge development program of work. At its foundation is CIGRE’s unique structure and the wide spectrum of domains covered.

The CIGRE knowledge programme is driven by key strategic themes defined by the experts of the CIGRE leadership, with the input of the community. These are based around the key drivers affecting the industry and are updated as strategic changes occur.

Strategic themes are fed into 16 consistent domains of work, each led by a dedicated Study Committee. The domains are broadly grouped by four key global power system areas – equipment, technologies, systems, new materials and IT.
