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

The Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) renewed its Hydro-Québec Research Chair in Transactional Management of Electric Energy for five years, thanks to a significant investment of over $3.2 million. Ecosystem, along with Hydro-Québec, Stelpro, Elmec, and research organizations NSERC and MITACS, is a proud partner in this initiative.

The project focuses on electric mobility, home automation, and building systems to improve energy efficiency. It explores ways to automate and integrate energy consumption flexibility. UQTR Rector Christian Blanchette said the renewal shows strong confidence in UQTR’s research. He emphasized the urgent need to rethink energy production, consumption, and management for the ecological transition.

As a company committed to sustainable energy management, Ecosystem is excited to contribute its expertise and resources to this initiative. We have a strong track record of helping clients cut energy use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and we’re ready to drive the research and development of innovative energy management solutions.

Ecosystem is enthusiastic about the chair’s open intellectual property approach, which will make research results, including software codes, freely available to the global community. This open-access model fosters collaboration and shared innovation, enabling the worldwide application of the research outcomes.
