(KMZA)--USDA Rural Development has awarded grants for several local renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements.
The grant awards were announced last week.
USDA Rural Development Kansas State Director Christy Davis says the investments will lower energy costs, generate new income and strengthen the resilience of small businesses in Kansas.
Titan Trailer Manufacturing, in Waterville, will receive a nearly $299,000 grant to help purchase and install a 499 kilowatt roof mounted solar array. According to a release, the project is estimated to replace nearly 649,000 kilowatt hours annually, enough energy to power 61 homes. Titan Trailer has 92 employees.
A more than $16,000 grant will help install a rooftop solar power system at Charles Bebermeyer- agricultural operation in rural Hiawatha. The project will save nearly $2,800 and generate more than 16,000 kilowatt hours annually
Also a nearly $6,400 grant will help install a new energy efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning system at Kelly's Kennels in McLouth. The project will save more than 4,000 kilowatt hours per year.
