REBATE GRANTS PROGRAM

The Rebate Grants Program, administered by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality under the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan, provides financial incentives to reduce NOx emissions by repowering or replacing older on-road heavy-duty diesel vehicles and specific non-road diesel equipment in designated Texas areas. The program allows for flexibility through a Good Cause Waiver for ownership and registration requirements, as well as an Equipment Type Exception Request for cases where replacement technology or vocation needs necessitate a change in the equipment's type, weight, or configuration. Under solicitation number 582-27-87648, a specific grant contract was awarded to Verstuyft Farms, LLC on October 2, 2026, for a total amount not to exceed 196,137.00 dollars. This agreement is governed by the Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 386 and follows established general terms and conditions regarding the reimbursement of allowable incremental costs and the management of grant equipment. While the initial application window opened on April 29, 2026, the deadline was accelerated to May 28, 2026, due to high demand for available funds.
