A $12.5 million investment from the U-S Economic Development Administration will allow Clemson University to expand its electric grid simulator for rapid testing and the deployment of new energy innovation. The investment is part of a $45 million award to a consortium of colleges, state agencies, and electric utilities, among others. The South Carolina Department of Commerce is a core member.
