RENEW will be holding a two day program in Boston, led by GE Vernova, that will give members an in-depth interactive experience with GE MARS (GE Multi-Area Reliability Simulation Software Program). It is the program ISO New England is using in its initiative to redesign the capacity market.
Speaker: Matthew Elkins, Technical Director, GE Vernova
The program will be hybrid. Being in the room is strongly encouraged as participants will benefit from the in-person interaction. I will host a dinner after the first day’s session.
