The Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) offers the Small Business Energy Audit Fund to assist New Hampshire's agricultural producers and rural small businesses. This grant program subsidizes comprehensive energy audits, identifying energy efficiency and renewable energy projects to decrease operating expenses and boost productivity, occupant comfort, and safety. The initiative is coordinated with utility energy efficiency programs and is a part of CDFA’s Clean Energy Fund, aiming to provide energy technical assistance and project funding guidance for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The funding originates from a USDA Rural Energy for America (REAP) Energy Audit grant.
