New Brunswick's Renewable Energy

New Brunswick contains many different energy sources, both renewable and non-renewable. The goal of this projects was to predict the future energy requirements of the province based on past data, and use these predictions to maximize the renewable energy use while minimizng the power generation costs.

Getting Started

Clone the repository with "git clone https://github.com/CEC2021Programming-ProgrammationCCI2021/hammond-hammond.git"

(Optional) Setup Virtual Environment
