| Title: ●Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) | |
| Abstract: The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Program (section 9006 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (FSRIA)) is being replaced with a new program titled the Rural Energy For America Program (REAP) numbered section 9007 of The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. The new program will provide grants for energy audits and renewable energy development assistance; and financial assistance for energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems. The program will increase energy independence, promote resource conservation, diversify markets for agricultural and forestry products, create jobs, and enhance economic development in rural economies. Eligible entities based on the sub-program of the sub-section include units of State, tribal, or local government; land grant or other institutions of higher education; rural electric cooperatives or public power entities; agricultural producers; rural small businesses; and any similar entity as determined by the Secretary. The bill directs that at least 20 percent of funds be used for grants of up to $20,000 each. The bill merges the energy audit program and the Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements programs. | |
