Funding USDA Rural Energy for America Program, USDA REAP, Loans Nationwide

As small business owners know all too well, energy is expensive. Unfortunately, replacing or upgrading inefficient equipment is expensive too. That's why the USDA enacted the Rural Energy for America Program, USDA REAP.

USDA REAP provides government-guaranteed loans and grants to agricultural producers and rural small businesses to upgrade, replace, or construct energy-efficiency systems. Example projects include solar energy loans, wind turbine financing, and financing for high-efficiency upgrades in warehouses, industrial buildings, and/or office complexes. With NAC and the USDA, powering rural industry is finally affordable.
