EGLE offers grants for ag-related energy efficiency projects

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Energy Services is offering matching grants for projects that improve the efficiency of farms, agribusinesses (crop and food processing or other related businesses) and businesses that provide assistance/services to agribusinesses. Implementation of innovative solutions to agriculture energy issues, such as solar paired with storage for irrigation systems, are of special interest to this program.

A total of $75,000 in funding is expected to be available, and the maximum funding amount per applicant is $15,000. All applicants must provide a minimum 50 percent (1:1) match of the total requested grant funds.

The EGLE, Agriculture and Rural Businesses Energy Incentive Program will be accepting applications until all funds are committed, or May 31, 2023, whichever comes first.
