PA DEP Agriculture Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

PA DEP is offering rebates to Pennsylvania agricultural producers for energy efficiency projects. Rebates are offered on a first-come, first-served basis as long as funding is available. The rebate program re-opened for applications on August 26, 2023. This round of funding will close on December 31, 2023 and will likely be the final round for rebate applications. Interested applicants should apply to secure a rebate voucher prior to installing the equipment, and we recommend applying early since our funding is limited. The maximum rebate this round has been increased to $7,500.

Eligible equipment includes:

• LED lighting (interior or exterior fixtures, bulbs, and controls)
• Dairy equipment for milk pumping and refrigeration or cooling equipment (efficient pumps, motors, scroll compressors, well water pre-chillers or heat exchangers, refrigeration heat recovery (RHR), and controls such as Variable frequency drives)
• Ventilation equipment (efficient fans, motors, and controls such as Variable frequency drives)
