Hosted by Jordan Energy
Join Jordan Energy for a practical, solutions-focused webinar designed specifically for New York vineyards and wineries exploring how solar can reduce operating costs, strengthen long-term sustainability, and position your business for future resilience.
Jordan Energy’s team has partnered with agricultural operations across the Northeast for nearly two decades, helping farms and agribusinesses secure more than $30 million in solar-related funding through grants, incentives, and strategic project planning. This session will walk you through what solar can do for your business today—and how to leverage available programs to make it financially achievable.
What You’ll Learn:
- How Solar Works for Vineyards & Wineries: Understand how solar systems integrate with agricultural operations, reduce energy costs, and support long-term business stability.
- Funding Pathways to Reduce Project Costs
An overview of the state and federal incentives that can help fund your solar installation, including those highlighted in the NYWGF Member Grants & Incentives Guide as well as key clean-energy programs such as:
- USDA Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) – Grants covering up to 50% of total eligible project costs for renewable energy systems.
- USDA Energy Audit & Renewable Energy Development Assistance Grants – Programs that may support energy audits or feasibility work at low or no cost.
- NYSERDA NY-Sun Program – Incentives that lower the upfront cost of going solar for businesses, farms, and commercial facilities across New York State. NY-Sun supports both rooftop and ground-mounted systems and often pairs well with federal and USDA funding.
- Empire State Development & Clean Energy-Eligible Grants – Capital programs that may support facility upgrades tied to clean-energy infrastructure.
- NYSERDA FlexTech Program – Cost-shared, site-specific engineering analyses to support renewable energy decisions.
- National Grid Renewable Energy & Efficiency Incentives – For businesses served by National Grid.
- NYSEG & RG&E incentives (as available).
- Additional programs supporting capital investment, climate resiliency, and clean-energy adoption.
