Highlights of the VAR Partner Day 2022

During the 9th annual partner day various Siemens experts and partners provided our guests with insightful presentations and an expert forum about the challenges of Protection & Automation, Medium Voltage Components and Medium Voltage technology

Next to the presentations, an accompanying exhibition of the Siemens portfolio as well as the opportunity to engage with experts were part of the agenda. The participants also had the opportunity to visit the 110kV GIS substation at Elektrana-Toplana Zagreb and learned first-hand where and how this facility could serve as a model for new projects in their markets.
