Regional knowledge sharing to catalyze the Northern energy transition

The Arctic Remote Energy Networks Academy (ARENA) is a unique circumpolar knowledge sharing program about isolated power systems integration held in  partnership with Canada, Aleut International Association, the U.S. and Iceland and endorsed by the Sustainable Development Working Group of the Arctic Council. ARENA is designed specifically for individuals living and working in remote circumpolar Arctic communities.

Combining visits to communities and participant knowledge exchanges with presentations and laboratory demonstrations, ARENA connects current and emerging professionals with hands-on learning experiences, topic experts, and project development leaders from throughout the circumpolar north.

Individual Benefit

Each participate will gain the knowledge, skills, and tools they need, and will develop a network with whom they can collaborate over the long haul.

Community Benefit

Participants will work on a specific, tangible aspect of a real-world project of their choice, incorporating what they have learned from their mentors, colleagues, training and site visits.

Circumpolar Benefit

Inter-regional sharing of energy system experiences, challenges and opportunities helps us all move towards our shared goal of a sustainable future.

Global Benefit

The need to shift to low-carbon energy solutions is a global imperative. Integrating locally available renewable energy supplies with fossil fuel generating systems in microgrids can profoundly change the way we address our need for electrical power, space conditioning and transportation.
