For the next two years, Resilient Virginia will be working with Virginia Energy and other partners on the US DOE funded Virginia Economically Disadvantaged Communities Energy Resiliency Study (VERS). This project is identifying resilience metrics (to be completed by JMU Center for the Advancement of Sustainable Energy (CASE) with assistance from Virginia Energy and Virginia Clean Cities) and developing a methodology to conduct energy resilience assessments in Historically Economically Disadvantaged Communities (HEDCs) in the state of Virginia. Resilient Virginia is working with Virginia Energy, Appalachian Voices/Solar Workgroup of Southwest Virginia, and Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) on community engagement and case study development.
