The federal Project Grant award of $106,810 was provided by the Rural Business Cooperative Services division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the Rural Energy for America Program (CFDA 10.868). The funding supports Automeca Technical College, Inc. in Bayamon, Puerto Rico to implement a renewable energy system (RES) project. The 2-year award, with a start date of December 9, 2024, will enable Automeca to enhance energy efficiency and expand renewable energy usage at its campus facilities. The grant aims to help the private, for-profit, minority-owned Hispanic educational institution prevent, prepare for, and respond to disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. This award builds on Automeca's prior receipt of over $5.7M in Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds from 2020-2022 to provide student assistance and bolster institutional resources for online learning.
