Increasingly energy efficiency and renewable energy are common features in rural business projects.  Nearly all of USDA Rural Development's programs can support such activities, but several programs are particularly well-suited to rural energy projects. 
Energy Efficiency
Renewable Energy

USDA Rural Development’s renewable energy programs support wind, solar, biomass, biofuels, geothermal, & anaerobic digester projects.  
(RD's energy programs cannot assist hydro, micro-hydro, & wave energy projects.)
