Nesika Energy LLC Receives USDA Grant to Purchase and Install Energy Efficient Equipment

In honor of Earth Week, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Kansas State Director Christy Davis has announced more than $5.3 million for seven clean energy projects to lower energy bills, expand access to domestic biofuels and create jobs and new market opportunities for Kansas farmers, ranchers and businesses.

“The USDA is helping expand access to clean energy and fueling options that promote energy independence and save Kansans money,” Davis said.  “We are excited to partner with farms and small businesses to address energy solutions, economic growth and keep rural communities strong.”

In North Central Kansas, a $452,500 grant will help purchase and install miscellaneous energy efficient equipment for Nesika Energy LLC of Scandia.  The project is estimated to save 1,181,689 kilowatt hours per year, enough energy to power 111 homes.
