REAP grant update excludes solar projects on farmland

Original: REAP grant update makes solar projects on farmland ineligible

An update to the Rural Energy for America Program grant rules makes solar projects located on farmland ineligible for funding. The change affects farmers and rural businesses that had counted on REAP support to install solar installations, and raises questions about where future solar development under the program can take place.

Why now: The policy change affects farmers and solar developers who relied on federal grant funding for on-farm solar projects.
