UQTR Research Chair in Transactional Management of Electric Energy is renewed for 5 years

The Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) has renewed its Hydro-Québec Research Chair in Transactional Management of Electric Energy for an additional five years, thanks to a significant investment of over $3.2 million.
