REAP Grant and Loan Guarantees

Interested energy applicants:

Please note; the Renewable Energy for America Program (REAP) for projects that include renewable energy systems or energy efficiency systems had published an invitation for applications in April. The application deadline was published as June 30, 2010. What they don’t say is that each state was provided an allocation of those funds for use specifically in their state. Each state has until June 30, 2010 to award those funds or lose them to the National Office pool. That means anybody that waits until June 30, 2010 to apply will only be applying for National Office funds. To apply for the state’s allocation of these funds, the application must be received in the Rural Development Area Office no later than June 4th. We will continue to accept application up to COB on June 30, 2010 and will have those applications compete nationally for funding.

For more information on this program or to find your local Area Office, please visit our website at: http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/mt
