Bill overview
The Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) Improvement Act of 2021 aims to strengthen and expand the USDA’s REAP program, which provides financial assistance to rural agricultural producers and small businesses for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The bill increases the amount of funding available for these projects, allows new entities like agricultural producer cooperatives and non-governmental organizations to apply for assistance, and prioritizes projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also streamlines the application process and directs the USDA to study dual-use energy systems and provide outreach to recipients.
