AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Smart Energy: North Carolina’s electric cooperatives launched EVConnectNC, a data-driven program that shifts home charging to off-peak hours. Drivers who meet the program’s charging targets can earn up to $120 a year. Water Research: A $75,000 state grant will fund two and a half years of testing at 14 Deep River sites for E. coli, with findings guiding a watershed restoration plan. Health and Climate: A study of older North Carolinians who rely on electric medical devices found that severe hurricane flooding was linked to higher hospitalization and death risks, with worse outcomes for Black residents. Antenna Innovation: NC State researchers have turned laser beams into a metal-free radio antenna that the university says boosts reception by 2.5 times. Semiconductors: New semiconductor investments in North Carolina were announced by President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
