We’re excited to share this news on behalf of our Cooperative members!
BEL is thrilled that the RESIST Disruptions project, a collaborative project of six-cooperatives led by Delaware County Electric Cooperative, Inc., has been selected to move forward with $28M of funding from DOE. The project will help strengthen the electric grid as invasive species, such as the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle, have increased the outages and damage from storms. The project will largely benefit northern portions of Appalachia in PA and NY as well as rural portions of NJ. We are grateful for the support of Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) that provided a planning grant to develop the project concept. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/eZ9hu2ad
