Advanced Metering coming from SVEC
SCEV is working on replacing all of their current meters with new, advanced, meters over the next few years. The new meters give the co-op a better capability to measure demand for electricity on the distribution system. The new meters will ideally help members be better informed when it comes to their electric consumption habits, and in turn help the co-op build a more robust and reliable system going forward. The new meters will also assist with outage response, and improve efficiency for the staff of SVEC.

2024 - Green Hill Solar joins the Manufactory Collective
Green Hill Solar and Beck Builders have moved into a new office space on Rt. 42 just south of the downtown area in Harrisonburg. The building was an old furniture warehouse that was remodeled by Nate and Debbie Irwin, owners of the Manufactory Collective, which is the new venture taking over the old space. "The Manufactory Collective is a space where makers, manufacturers, artisans, and entrepreneurs can gain access to assembly, storage, and production space, large and specialized equipment, and industry experts to help them scale up their businesses."
We are excited to be joining a great group of entrepreneurs, as well as finally having an office space where we can all gather together for the first time! The photos below show that we're still settling in, but Eric and Susan have been hard at work furnishing the space and making it functional.
