The USDA on June 15 delivered a final rule to the White House Office of Management and Budget that would, in part, “simplify and streamline requirements and processes” for the Rural Energy for America Program. REAP provides guaranteed loan financing and grant funding to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for renewable energy systems or to make energy efficiency improvements.
Renewable biomass, including anaerobic digesters and biogas, wind, solar, small hydro-electric, ocean, geothermal, or hydrogen derived from any of those sources are among the renewable energy sources eligible for the program. Past recipients of REAP awards have used the funds to improve operations at ethanol, biodiesel and wood pellet plants.
Biogas projects and biomass-fueled combined-heat-and-power (CHP) projects have also received funding through REAP in the past. The USDA in October 2024 published a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) that set series of REAP application deadlines for fiscal year (FY) 2025, 2026 and 2027 funding. The deadlines spanned from Dec.
31, 2024, through March 31, 2027. The USDA on April 14 published a notice in the Federal Register formally rescinding the October 2024 NOFO. “The agency is currently promulgating regulatory changes to the REAP program and available funding will be announced after publication of said changes,” the agency said in the notice.
“Applicants who previously submitted applications will be required to submit a new application and must comply with the new regulation. This applies to any applicant that does not possess a fully executed Financial Assistance Agreement. ” The move to rescind the NOFO came less than a month after the agency formally announced it was no longer processing existing REAP applications.
That announcement, issued by the USDA Rural Business Cooperative Service on March 31, 2026, indicated the agency would halt processing of REAP grant applications until the agency updates program regulations to comply with Executive Order 14315, titled “Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign Controlled Energy Source.
” With submission of a final rule to the OMB, the USDA may be implementing some of its planned changes to the REAP program. The rule is formally titled “Unleashing American Energy and Economic Prosperity under Title 7 Code of Federal Regulations Part 4280 Subpart B.
” According to a abstract of the rulemaking published by OMB, the USDA “intends to issue an interim final rule in support Executive Orders 14154, Unleashing American Energy and 14156, Declaring a National Energy Emergency, to reduce high energy costs and provide a diversified, and affordable supply of energy to drive our Nation's economic prosperity by promoting efficiencies and reducing compliance costs.
In addition,implementation of this action will simplify and streamline requirements and processes in the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP)to ensure that RD can have more effective program delivery practices to increase rural prosperity.
” “The 7 CFR 4280 Subpart B governs REAP and provides for grants, or a combination grant and guaranteed loan, to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for the purpose of purchasing and installing renewable energy systems or to make energy efficiency improvements,” the OMB’s abstract continues.
“The program also provides grants to conduct energy audits and provide recommendations and information on renewable energy development assistance. Subpart B was last updated July 2021 to primarily remove the provisions relating to guaranteed only loans promulgated through the OneRD initiative. ” For the first time ever, gasoline consumed by American drivers in May contained more than 11% ethanol, on average.
U.S. fuel ethanol production fell by 1% the week ending Sept. 4, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Sept. 10.
Stocks of fuel ethanol were up nearly 15 while exports expanded by more than 41%. Total operatable U.S. biofuel production capacity was at 25. 299 billion gallons per year in June, essentially unchanged when compared to the previous month, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Aug.
31. Blending ethanol into the U.S. fuel supply has helped to substantially lower gasoline prices during the Iran conflict, a new study for the RFA shows. The study concludes that the average E10 cost savings advantage has been 38 cents per gallon.
The U.S. corn ethanol industry continues to stand out for employing military veterans and maintaining a diverse workforce, according to the 2026 U.S. Energy & Employment Report released Sept. 8 by the U.S. Department of Energy.
