WASHINGTON, DC (WVDN) – Senator Jim Justice released a statement celebrating the National Science Foundation’s selection of the Resilient Energy Technology and Infrastructure (RETI) Consortium, which is led by West Virginia University (WVU) in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and more than 60 regional partners, to be one of 12 National Science Foundation Regional Innovation Engines award recipients.
“This is a landmark moment for West Virginia. Securing the RETI Consortium, the largest National Science Foundation award in our state’s history, is a testament to the incredible work being done at West Virginia University and by partners across our region. This $321 million investment is going to create jobs, grow our economy, and continue to cement West Virginia as a national leader in energy innovation.
