The ARENA webinar series introduces viewers to the remote energy networks (microgrids) that provide power and heat across the Arctic.
The webinars have been pre-recorded in English, and are packaged as self-contained modules that can be watched as streamed media or downloaded for off- line viewing. Examples and case studies are included from multiple Arctic locations for each topic.
