Pennsylvania's Agriculture Energy Efficiency Rebate Program Extended

[52 Pa.B. 1428]
[Saturday, March 5, 2022]

 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces the extension of the deadline for applications to Pennsylvania's Agriculture Energy Efficiency Rebate Program (Program) to June 30, 2022, and the inclusion of additional technologies eligible for a rebate under this Program to assist agricultural producers with the purchase of energy efficient equipment for farming operations.

 To qualify for the rebate, the applicant must meet the definition of a normal farming operation under the act of June 10, 1982 (P.L. 454, No. 133), known as the Pennsylvania Right to Farm Law, and the application must be submitted to the Department prior to the installation of the project. Equipment purchase costs are eligible and no installation costs will be funded. The rebate will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis in the order in which they are received.

 The Program will provide rebates for up to 50% of the equipment purchase cost or $2,000 for each equipment category, whichever is less, for the technologies listed as follows. Product specifications are required to be submitted with the application. Rebates include equipment costs only and will not fund installation costs.

 Eligible equipment costs under the Program include:

 • Energy Efficient Lighting Systems, including LED lighting fixtures, LED bulbs and lighting controls (for example, occupancy and motion sensors).

 • Energy Efficient Ventilation Systems, including ventilation fans, motors and controls (for example, variable frequency drives (VFD)).

 • Energy Efficient Milk Pumping Systems, including pumps, motors and controls (for example, VFD).

 Approved applicants will be issued a voucher, then install eligible equipment and submit a payment request form with required documentation to the Department to receive rebate moneys. Applicants may apply under each equipment category, all on a single application or as separate applications, one per equipment category. Only one rebate will be awarded for each technology category, per applicant. The Department will not issue more than $5,000 in rebate vouchers total to any one applicant. The maximum total rebate award under this Program, if an applicant applies under all three technology categories, is $5,000.

 Applications must be submitted online through the Commonwealth's Electronic Single Application web site at www.esa.dced.state.pa.us/Login.aspx. Hardcopy applications will not be accepted. Applications must be received by 4 p.m. on June 30, 2022.

 Information on how to apply is available online through the Department's agriculture energy webpage at www.dep.pa.gov/agricultureenergy or by contacting the Department at RA-EPAgEnergyProgram@pa.gov or (570) 327-3783.
