NC Resilient REDDI Communities Initial Session

 The NC Clean Energy Technology Center is leading a project to promote Resilient Renewable Energy to Diminish Disaster Impacts on Communities (Resilient REDDI Communities). This project is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to investigate the value of resilient solar PV and storage to communities in North Carolina.

We are inviting you all to join us and discuss the opportunities, barriers, and needs for deploying renewables to support resiliency in communities throughout North Carolina.

Our goal is to engage a network of emergency managers, utilities, community organizations, and other interested parties to design an Energy Resilience Playbook for communities to integrate resilience into master planning. Specifically, we are looking for feedback on the contents and depth of detail that would be most beneficial as we start to draft these playbooks.

Also, we would like to build a cohort of several communities (up to a dozen) in North Carolina to receive technical assistance on determining feasibility of solar and storage to improve resiliency, based on proposed methods from our research and outreach.
