As the Canadian Climate Institute began to weigh in to topics like demand-side management and distributed energy resources, we commissioned a training from SGIN to help us navigate the intricacies of the related technical and policy issues, and to answer our questions. The SGIN team's knowledge and insights were invaluable and have allowed us to increase the sophistication of our work on this and related topics. The team's passion for and knowledge of the topics they work on were clearly evident, and we were grateful to benefit from it!
