Media are invited to attend a tour of the University of Regina’s recently launched Microgrid Living Lab, followed by media availability with Dr. Irfan Al-Anbagi, director of the Microgrid Living Lab and associate professor of engineering at the U of R.
The living lab is a cutting-edge space for clean-energy research and innovation and is a first-of-it’s-kind facility in Saskatchewan.
A microgrid works as a mini power plant to generate, store, and distribute its own electricity using renewable energy, such as solar panels, batteries, and hydro energy.

About the University of Regina
2024 marked our 50th anniversary as an independent university (although our roots as Regina College date back more than a century!). As we celebrate our past, we work towards a future that is as limitless as the prairie horizon. We support the health and well-being of more than 17,200 students and provide them with hands-on learning opportunities to develop into career-ready graduates – more than 92,000 alumni enrich communities in Saskatchewan and around the globe. Our research enterprise includes 18 research centres and 9 Canada Research Chairs. Our campuses are on Treaties 4 and 6 - the territories of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda peoples, and the homeland of the Michif/Métis nation. We seek to grow our relationships with Indigenous communities to build a more inclusive future.
Let’s go far, together.
