Austin Energy faces a $32 million loss for solar power projects designated for low-income communities due to the cancellation of the "Solar For All" program by the Trump administration. The initiative aimed to support 2,500 residential low-income homes and 25 multifamily buildings by providing free solar energy and battery storage installations. Originally funded by the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act, the program allocated $7 billion to enhance solar access for low and moderate income communities. The cancellation has raised concerns among advocates regarding its legality and the impact on energy equity.
