Final AGM Wrap Up a Success
A sincere thank you to the many researchers, graduate students and stakeholders who attended the final NSMG-Net AGM in Markham on October 5. A special thanks to our keynote speakers (Dr. Chris Marnay and Edward Arlitt) and panel members (Richard Wunderlich, Eric Deschenes, Jean Lessard and Lisa Dignard), who shared valuable insights and contributed to an informative discussion on the future of microgrid research in Canada.
