Maine Chapter Week
Join the Maine Chapter for an evening at the Roux Institute. Northeastern University’s Roux Institute operates as a tech talent and innovation hub for Maine and beyond, driving bold innovation at the intersection of tech, data, and the life sciences.
Enjoy great company and amazing views while engaging in a thought-provoking panel discussion on how innovation in the electric grid can help us meet growing decarbonization demands affordably and sustainably.
Specifically, the panel will discuss potential technologies that utilities can employ to utilize the existing grid more efficiently, programs at Efficiency Maine designed to reduce peak load, and how large customers can be used as a dynamic resource to lessen the strain on the grid at peak times.
