PD - mandatory renewable energy audit grants

This Project Grant award of $100,000.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services under the Rural Energy for America Program (CFDA 10.868) is to provide mandatory renewable energy audits. The purpose is to support agricultural producers and rural small businesses in West Virginia with conducting energy audits to identify opportunities for renewable energy system installations and energy efficiency improvements. The award was made to West Virginia University, a public land-grant institution that frequently collaborates with federal agencies on research, technical assistance, and education initiatives related to agriculture, energy, and rural economic development. This grant will leverage WVU's expertise to deliver the required audits and analysis to help rural entities in West Virginia reduce their energy costs and increase their use of renewable energy sources.
