The two-year funded project aims to help the rural business reduce energy costs, enhance energy efficiency, and expand the use of renewable energy technologies through initiatives such as solar panel installations, wind turbines, geothermal systems, energy-efficient lighting upgrades, HVAC improvements, and building insulation enhancements. This award demonstrates the USDA's commitment to assisting small agricultural producers and rural businesses in adopting renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions.
