Virginia Coastal Energy Research Consortium

As is mandated in the Virginia Energy Plan, the research focus for the Virginia Coastal Energy Research Consortium is on offshore winds, waves and marine biomass. This has been broken down into four major work projects with each project involving multiple universities in a collaborative effort. There is a visible lead university for each of the collaborations.
