This is a USDA program for rural small businesses and agricultural producers buying renewable energy systems (solar, wind, biomass) or making energy efficiency improvements. Awards run $1,500 to $500,000 and cost sharing is required, so you need money of your own to put in. Nonprofits should not apply, and neither should businesses that are not rural or not in energy, agriculture, or food production.
