HUNTINGDON COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that $5,800,000 in investments will be going to renewable energy projects in Pennsylvania.
One of those projects is in Huntingdon County. The Huntingdon Country Club Inc., a golf course, was awarded $24,563 to purchase and install a 23.2-kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic system. This project is expected to save the business approximately $3,100 per year and will replace 27,371 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year, which is enough energy to power two homes.
“The Biden Administration and USDA are ensuring farmers and small businesses are not only a part of the clean energy economy, but directly benefiting from it,” State Director for Rural Development Bob Morgan said. “We have seen a great impact from this Administration’s focus on clean energy projects here in Pennsylvania. We expect this effort to continue in 2024.”
