Ask Us Anything: Demand-Side Management (DSM) & Today’s Energy Landscape
May 14 @ 12:15 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
Join us on May 14 for an Ask Us Anything session exploring Demand-Side Management (DSM), a critical approach to reducing energy use, lowering costs and supporting a more reliable, low-carbon energy system.
We’ll kick things off with a brief overview of our DSM course, why DSM matters in today’s evolving energy and policy landscape and how jurisdictions across Canada and beyond are using DSM to drive efficiency and avoid costly new energy infrastructure.
Bring your questions and learn how DSM can unlock practical opportunities for your organization.
