Description
Description | The Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) by the USDA provides grants and loans to farmers, ranchers, and rural businesses for renewable energy projects such as solar installations to reduce utility costs. The program has supported over $1.8 billion in grants over nearly two decades and was boosted by the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. However, since September, the program has not committed any funds for renewable energy development, has not reopened its grant application cycle, and has suspended all grant awards as of March 31, 2026, to update regulations in compliance with a Trump executive order. The loan guarantee program remains open but has awarded no new agreements this fiscal year. |
