USDA Rural Development is sponsoring a two-part Renewable Energy/Energy Efficiency workshop. The workshop, which is FREE, will include information about the funding and technical assistance available to farms and small businesses through the USDA's Renewable Energy for America Program (REAP). Eligibility requirements and sample project proposals will be discussed.

The 9007 Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Improvements Program can provide guaranteed loans, grants for a combination loan and grant to eligible applicants for eligible projects and costs. Eligible projects for renewable energy systems include such things as wind, solar, biomass, or geothermal systems. Energy Efficiency projects, for example, can be such things as upgrading electrical motors, insulation, or heating, cooling and lighting upgrades.

To register for the FREE workshop, please contact Laura Aymond.

Part II will be follow-up grant writing workshops to be held by appointment for those interested in applying for a REAP grant and/or guaranteed loan. USDA Rural Development staff will be providing one-on-one assistance. Participants for the follow-up session must have attended a prior USDA REAP informational meeting or previously applied for a USDA energy grant.
