U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) has successfully secured $4,537,255 in funding aimed at reducing energy expenses for farmers and small businesses throughout Pennsylvania.
This funding, comprising twenty awards, will facilitate the purchase and installation of solar photovoltaic systems, which transform solar energy into electricity, thus helping businesses and farms cut costs significantly.
Additionally, the funding will support a Pennsylvania dairy farm in acquiring a new engine for its anaerobic digester.
“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.”
