Thursday October 24, 2024 9:30am - 10:30am PDT
Windsor C
There are unique programs and funding opportunities available to agricultural producers and rural businesses looking to go solar. This session will explore the USDA Rural Energy for America Program, a grant and loan program that can cover up to 50% of the cost of a renewable energy project. We’ll cover best practices for identifying viable projects and submitting competitive grant applications. The panel will also share available technical assistance for pre-development and grant-writing support.
