Welcome to WV-DOE EPSCoR
| Welcome to the web site of the West Virginia-U.S.
Department of Energy's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive
Research (WV-DOE EPSCoR). Energy has been identified by the West Virginia
EPSCoR Advisory Committee and the West Virginia Science and Technology
Council (WV STAC) to be a focal area of research important to the
state.
West Virginia is proud to have received the highest rating for research for its State Implementation Plan proposal on advancing state-of-the-art electric power transmission and distribution systems under a deregulated, restructured utility environment. Many of our state's researchers have also enjoyed success through the Laboratory Partnership Program. The WV-DOE EPSCoR program is coordinated for
the state through the offices of the National Research Center for
Coal and Energy (NRCCE) at West Virginia University, Dr. Richard
A. Bajura, Director. |
