US Environmental Agency to Terminate $11.8b in Solar Grants

UNITED STATES, AUG 5 – The EPA plans to cut $7 billion in solar grants for 900,000 low-income households amid a rollback of Biden-era climate programs, sparking legal challenges and opposition.

  • The Trump administration is reportedly planning to end $7 billion in federal funding from the Solar for All initiative, which supports low- and moderate-income households in installing rooftop solar panels nationwide.
  • This move follows the EPA's March attempt to cancel $20 billion in climate grants and the July repeal of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, sparking ongoing legal battles and injunctions favoring grant recipients.
  • The Solar for All program, launched under the Biden administration's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, aimed to serve about 900,000 households and reduce energy costs while creating clean energy jobs for disadvantaged communities.
  • Defenders, including Senator Bernie Sanders and climate advocates, warn the cancellation will harm vulnerable families and communities, with Sanders stating it offers lower utility bills and thousands of good-paying jobs.
  • If the Trump administration proceeds, organizations like the Southern Environmental Law Center pledge legal challenges, while critics highlight the risks of higher energy costs and thwarted climate goals for struggling families.
