About The Michigan Farm Energy Program (MFEP)
The Michigan Farm Energy Program (MFEP) operations started in Fall of 2009, in response to the low numbers of USDA-REAP funded energy efficiency projects (tied for 50th in two of the initial USDA program's 7 years, no higher than 46th). The activities of the MFEP and partner organizations resulted in a dramatic rise to 5th by 2012. Michigan has maintained a top 10 ranking ever since and now has the highest USDA-REAP energy efficiency and renewable energy budget allocation in the Midwest.
