REAP is designed to help agricultural producers and rural small businesses reduce energy costs and consumption. Up to 25% of total project costs are eligible for competitive REAP grant funds.
Application preparation services are designed to help applicants meet USDA REAP grant federal guidelines. We will work with you to collect application materials, consult with the installer and the USDA on technical questions, and submit your application on time. Fees are based upon grant size and services provided.
