Dominion Voltage, the leader in Volt/VAR optimization VVO solutions and a subsidiary of Dominion Resources have entered into a value added reseller agreement with NRTC that will deliver DVI's full solution set to the electric cooperative marketplace.

The energy industry is undergoing a transformation across the country as efforts are made to modernize the electric grid. DVI's VVO solution, "EDGE®," helps to make a strong business case for significant investments in automation and upgrades to the distribution system.

DVI's EDGE® family of solutions is an integral component to achieving these goals. NRTC has a proven track record of providing solutions to this market and DVI is proud to be working with them."

"The DVI team and their EDGE® technology platform have proven themselves to be the best in class in the VVO industry," said Edward Drew, vice president, Utility Solutions at NRTC.
