Creates a federal Energy Circuit Rider Program that pays local experts (Energy Circuit Riders) to help rural communities plan, finance, and carry out energy efficiency and clean energy projects. The program awards grants to eligible organizations to place these technical-assistance riders, sets grant terms and federal cost shares, directs the Secretary to share best practices and report to Congress annually, and provides specific funding to run the program. Circuit Riders may also help applicants access existing USDA energy loan and grant programs.
