Agricultural producers: Have you factored in REAP funding for your onsite energy project? Get up to 75% in grant and loan funding - available through FY 2024. Reach out to see if your site is eligible for REAP. What is REAP? The Rural Energy for America Program administered by the USDA guarantees loan funding and grant funding to agricultural producers (and small businesses) for renewable energy systems or energy efficiency improvements. #ruralsolar #distributedgeneration #agriculture #ruralenergy

The Government of Alberta is gathering input about renewable energy development on agricultural land. The pause on renewable energy development was lifted February 29, 2024. The Government committed to advance policy, legislation and regulatory changes to support an “Agriculture First” approach to renewable energy development before the end of 2024. This means Alberta will no longer permit utility scale renewable energy development on the best agricultural lands, unless crop and/or livestock production can coexist alongside the development. Criteria used to establish agricultural land suitability will minimize risk to Alberta’s privately owned native grasslands and ensure agricultural land (including irrigable and productive agricultural land) remains available to safeguard sustainable food production now and in the future. This questionnaire is an opportunity to provide input on developing utility scale renewable energy on privately owned agricultural land. Please note, renewable energy development on Crown Land is out of scope for this engagement. Your input will be used to determine criteria to identify the suitability of agricultural land for renewable energy development. Before completing the questionnaire, watch the 15 minute webinar recordinghttps://lnkd.in/gK_4m9Vc to learn more. The survey will take 15 to 20 minutes to complete and closes August 14, 2024. Take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/g87_qVxK
