PD - mandatory renewable energy technical assistance grants

This federal Project Grant award of $100,000 was provided by the USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services under the Rural Energy for America Program (CFDA 10.868) and issued to Northampton County Area Community College on March 26, 2025. The grant will support the college's efforts to provide mandatory renewable energy technical assistance to agricultural producers and rural small businesses in Pennsylvania. This includes providing grants and technical support to help these entities develop renewable energy systems and implement energy efficiency improvements. The grant program focuses on reducing energy costs, enhancing efficiency, and expanding the use of renewable energy technologies like solar, wind, and geothermal power. As a sub-awardee, Northampton Community College will leverage its expertise to deliver these services and facilitate the adoption of clean energy solutions in the region's rural communities.
