About this program
The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service administers the Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements Program (CFDA 10.775), which funds renewable energy and energy efficiency projects for agricultural producers and rural small businesses; the most recent grant award was disbursed September 28, 2022.
Program activity has contracted substantially since peak years. The portfolio includes 1,377 total Project Grants spanning from 2007 through 2022, with recent award volume significantly reduced: 2022 saw only 12 awards compared to 585 in 2008 and 326 in 2007. No grant opportunities are currently posted in the recent-opportunities block. The extended gap between the most recent awards in September 2022 and today suggests minimal or paused new funding activity under this program.
The program funds two distinct categories: renewable energy system installations and energy efficiency improvements for farms, ranches, and rural small businesses. Recent awards reflect this dual scope—examples include renewable energy system grants with individual awards of $172,493, $66,826, and $58,621, alongside energy efficiency grants valued at $42,485 and smaller amounts.
Funding is concentrated in the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service, which accounts for 1,365 awards representing $68.6 million in federal dollars obligated. The Rural Business Cooperative Services division of USDA's Washington Office accounts for the remaining 12 awards totaling $299 thousand. All 1,377 awards are structured as Project Grants.
Combined federal dollars obligated across the portfolio total $68.9 million. Individual award magnitudes from the 2022 cohort range from zero dollars to $172,493, with most awards in the $25,000 to $75,000 band. Notably, some recent awards show negative dollar obligations, suggesting adjustments or recaptures from prior years. Awards from the 2010 peak period show larger individual grants, including several at $500,000 and amounts exceeding $100,000.
The program appears inactive for new solicitations as of now, warranting a hold pending confirmation of renewed funding availability.
