Concerned about increased energy costs on your farm or business? You may benefit from the State of California’s GoGreen Business Energy Financing program, which offers support for small and medium-sized businesses in California to invest in energy-saving building retrofits and installations, including pump motors, refrigeration, and horticultural lighting. Look online for a comprehensive list of pre-qualified energy-saving measures organized by category.
Through the GoGreen Business program, eligible businesses—both property owners and tenants—can access private financing with exceptional terms for projects from $5,000 to $5 million. Right now, select participating finance companies are currently offering reduced interest rates as low as 0 percent.
