The USDA Rural Utilities Service Electric Loan Program provides low-interest loans to rural electric cooperatives, public power districts, and other eligible borrowers to fund the construction, expansion, and improvement of electric distribution, transmission, and generation facilities in rural areas. By financing reliable, affordable electricity infrastructure in rural communities, the program reduces energy costs and improves quality of life for rural residents and businesses who are the end beneficiaries. Loans may also fund smart grid upgrades, distributed energy, and energy storage projects.
