Government grants provide direct funding to Texas businesses without requiring repayment. Programs range from federal SBIR/STTR research grants to state workforce training grants and local economic development awards. Eligibility varies by agency, industry, business size, and project type.
Clean Energy Programs
Texas Clean Energy Grants, Loans & Incentives
Texas leads the nation in wind energy production and has rapidly growing solar capacity. Clean energy companies may qualify for USDA REAP grants, DOE research funding, state renewable energy incentives, property tax exemptions for renewable installations, and SBA lending for clean energy equipment and facility investments.
Program Types
Programs Available for Clean Energy Businesses
Texas clean energy businesses may be eligible for these types of government programs, sourced from federal, state, and local agencies.
Energy programs support Texas businesses in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and energy infrastructure projects. Programs include USDA REAP grants for rural energy projects, DOE research funding, state renewable energy incentives, and utility-sponsored rebate programs for equipment upgrades and energy audits.
Tax exemptions remove certain items or activities from taxation entirely. Texas offers sales tax exemptions for manufacturing equipment, franchise tax exemptions for small businesses, and property tax abatements through local taxing jurisdictions. These programs can significantly reduce operating costs for qualifying businesses.
R&D grants fund innovation and research commercialization for Texas businesses. Federal SBIR and STTR programs award grants to small businesses conducting research across all federal agencies. State programs like CPRIT fund cancer research and prevention. The R&D Tax Credit provides additional tax benefits for qualifying research expenditures.
Government-backed loans provide below-market-rate financing for Texas businesses through SBA 7(a), SBA 504, Microloans, USDA rural lending, and CDFI programs. These loans typically offer lower interest rates, longer repayment terms, and lower down payments than conventional bank financing.
These are categories of programs in our database. Your screening report shows all programs that match your specific clean energy business profile.
