Casey Delivers $4.5 Million to Lower Energy Costs for Farmers and Small Business Owners

Published:

Grants funded by Casey-backed Inflation Reduction Act

Grants will go towards purchasing and installing solar energy systems and improving waste digestion to help farmers and small businesses save on energy costs

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) secured a total of $4,537,255 to lower energy costs for farmers and small businesses across the Commonwealth. The twenty awards will help businesses and farms purchase and install solar photovoltaic systems, which will convert captured solar energy into electricity to power machines and operations and save Pennsylvanians thousands of dollars per year. These funds will also help a Pennsylvania dairy farm purchase and install a new engine for their anerobic digester. The funding comes from the U.S Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Rural Energy for America (REAP) program, made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act.

"When we invest in technology that lowers energy costs for our businesses and farmers, we are investing in the Commonwealth's long-term success," said Senator Casey. "Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, farmers and small businesses can continue supporting their families and their communities and save thousands of dollars each year. I will always fight for investments that lower costs, support businesses, and protect our Commonwealth's environment for generations to come."
