Electric Infrastructure Loan & Loan Guarantee Program

USDA Rural Development’s Electric Infrastructure Loan Program provides insured loans and loan guarantees to finance the construction of electric distribution facilities in rural areas. Funds may be used to finance maintenance, upgrades, expansion, energy efficiency, renewable energy systems, and replacement of distribution, sub transmission and headquarters (service, warehouse) facilities. 

Townships in rural areas can apply throughout the year. Interested townships must first contact the Pennsylvania General Field Representative to determine whether the proposed service area qualifies as rural as several factors will determine eligibility under this program. For more information, contact USDA’s Office of Loan Origination and Approval at 202-720-1422.
