Agricultural Cooperative Energy Savings Act of 2025

This legislation aims to broaden access to specific United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs by amending the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002. It specifically expands eligibility for programs such as the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) . The bill allows agricultural cooperatives with fewer than 2,500 employees to participate in these programs. This change will enable more cooperatives to apply for grants and loan guarantees for renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements, thereby fostering greater energy savings and sustainability within the agricultural sector.
