EPA plans to end a program that makes solar power available to low-income Americans
Briefly

The Trump Administration plans to terminate the $7 billion Solar for All program, which aided low-income households in accessing affordable solar energy. This decision is part of an initiative to shift focus from climate policies introduced by the previous administration. The program intended to assist over 900,000 households in reducing pollution and utility costs through various solar initiatives. With its funding already allocated to state entities, affected grantees argue that the funds cannot be reclaimed, leading to potential legal actions against the administration's decision.
The Trump Administration plans to end a $7 billion program, "Solar for All," designed to assist low-income households with affordable solar energy access.
The program aimed to benefit over 900,000 low-income families by reducing pollution and utility bills through rooftop solar panels and community solar farms.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin stated that a recent tax bill repealed the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, including the $7 billion Solar for All program.
Grantees contend that the Trump administration cannot reclaim the already obligated funds and are prepared to take legal action to maintain support.
