Project Background
Overall project purpose is to help MA farms evaluate & install energy systems that offset fossil fuel use and meet on-farm energy needs while reducing costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The project will target ag producers currently underserved by energy efficiency & renewable energy incentive programs (i.e, emerging & expanding farms & those that rely on oil, propane and cordwood). Explore the viability of adding solar thermal hot water to list of eligible EQIP practices.
