(KNZA)--USDA Rural Development is investing $2.8 million in renewable energy projects in Kansas--including one in Doniphan County.
USDA Rural Development Kansas Director Christy Davis announced Monday the awarding of grants for 12 projects in the state, which she says will lower energy bills, boost energy production and create jobs.
A $43,800 grant will help purchase and install a 15 kilowatt wind turbine for Blevins Farms Inc. of Highland. According to a release, the project is expected to generate more than 37,000 kilowatts per year, 100 percent of the farm's electrical usage and enough electricity to power 3.5 homes.
Davis said the investments will expand renewable energy infrastructure and save Kansans money on their energy costs that can be invested back into their businesses and communities.
