US REAP grant update blocks solar projects on farmland
Original: REAP grant update makes solar projects on farmland ineligible
An update to the Rural Energy for America Program grant rules has made solar projects located on farmland ineligible for funding. The change affects farmers and rural businesses that previously relied on REAP support to install solar installations. Industry observers are weighing what the exclusion means for rural renewable energy development and agricultural income diversification across the United States.
Why now: The new eligibility rule directly affects farmers, solar developers and rural energy projects relying on federal funding.
