Get a renewable energy plan tailored to your farm or business for free
To qualify for USDA , farmers must receive a renewable energy plan and/or energy efficiency plan, which Clackamas Community College and Spark Northwest are offering free of charge.
First, a representative from CCC’s renewable energy program along with CCC students will perform an analysis of the property and create a plan on how to implement a renewable energy system. The plan will include technical layouts and designs, as well as a list of contractors.
Once a plan is in place, Spark Northwest will assist in the grant writing process from start to finish.
