eGUIDE Annual Retreat in Rochester NY: September 12-14, 2024

We had the pleasure of participating in the annual eGUIDE retreat at the Rochester Institute of Technology, which provided a fantastic opportunity to connect with both new and returning eGUIDE members. The retreat commenced with an enlightening visit to the Niagara Power Vista, where attendees gained valuable insights into hydropower energy generation, followed by a visit to the breathtaking Niagara Falls State Park. During the retreat, Ahana and Kwame showcased their ongoing research through poster presentations, fostering engaging discussions among participants.

The eGUIDE initiative is a collaborative effort involving six esteemed institutions: the University of Massachusetts - Amherst, Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Washington, and the Kigali Collaborative Research Centre. This partnership aims to transform the approaches used for planning and operations of electricity infrastructure in developing regions.
