What is the USDA REAP Grant? How do you benefit from it?
Power Sync Solar wants to be part of empowering America's backbone- small rural businesses and agricultural producers. The USDA's Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) now offers even greater funding opportunities thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022. With over $1 billion in new funding, small rural businesses and agricultural producers can significantly reduce their energy costs and enhance sustainability through renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements.
Why REAP?
-
Increased Funding: The IRA brings an additional $1.055 billion to REAP, ensuring more projects can be funded.
-
Higher Grant Limits: Eligible projects can receive up to 50% federal grant share, doubling the previous limit for zero-emission systems, projects in energy communities, energy efficiency improvements, and tribal entity projects.
-
Maximum Funding: Applicants can now receive up to $1.5 million in grant assistance per fiscal year, enabling more ambitious and impactful projects.
-
Broad Eligibility: Small businesses and agricultural producers in rural areas are encouraged to apply, emphasizing that America's backbone deserves robust support to thrive and innovate.
What's New?
-
Flexible Application Windows: With six quarterly application periods, it's easier than ever to apply.
-
Minimum Project Costs: Ensuring impactful investments, the minimum project costs are set at $10,000 for renewable energy systems and $6,000 for energy efficiency improvements.
