USDA grant awarded to local organic poultry farmer for solar panel installation

Just over $115,880 was awarded to Regeneration Cycle, LLC for the installation of two photovoltaic systems.

Eight Virginia projects were included in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s announcement of $266 million in funding for renewable energy and energy-efficiency projects that was made in late August.

The loans and grants were awarded to applicants in 47 states across the U.S., Guam and Puerto Rico through the Rural Energy for America Program with funding made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act. According to a USDA press release, “this landmark legislation is the nation’s largest investment in combating the climate crisis and has helped USDA make up to $1.3 billion available to producers and business owners since December 2022.”
