Funding Available for Renewable Energy Products

 04/28/2024

On Earth Day 2024, Deputy secretary of Agriculture, Xochitl Torres Small, announced funding for 700 projects including biofuels and clean energy.  The USDA will provide $238 million through the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) and the Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program  (HBIIP).

 

REAP will provide $194 million to support 35 projects including installation of solar photovoltaic systems and a vertical farming project for strawberries.

 

USDA has distributed $2 billion under the REAP program.  Accordingly, egg producers are urged to consider whether intended projects could fall within the objectives of REAP, thereby reducing operating costs.
