US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has unveiled $78.3 million in partially forgivable loans for clean energy projects as part of the Power and Affordable Clean Energy (PACE) program. The program’s goal is to reduce electricity bills and expand access to renewable energy.

Washington is among the states set to benefit from this funding. Cunningham Solar is planning to utilize $4 million of the allocated funds to establish approximately three megawatts of solar energy in rural areas.
