US EditionMichigan loses $540 million in climate-related grants, along with green manufacturing projects
Michigan lost $540 million in federal climate grants and saw $3 billion in clean energy projects canceled amid shifting federal policies and declining EV demand.
- This year, Atlas Public Policy found Michigan lost about $540 million in canceled climate grants and roughly $23.8 billion in scrapped clean-energy investments.
- Policy reversals by the Trump administration and the end of federal EV tax credits contributed to $23.8 billion in canceled projects and weakened demand for EVs this year.
- Beyond the headline totals, more than 20 grants were canceled, including $156 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Solar for All Program and $28.2 million for TS Conductor.
- Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel joined 22 other states in suing, arguing the administration "unilaterally and illegally terminated" congressionally approved programs, while GM and Ford scaled back EV plans delaying the GM-LG Energy Solution Lansing project.
- An exception to cancellations came when the administration continued nuclear disbursements including a $1.5 billion loan and $400 million for Palisades nuclear power plant, with Annabelle Rosser saying `It certainly mirrors what we're seeing nationally`.
