Trump Admin Ends Solar Program for Low-Income Households
Tap title to read story
The Trump administration plans to end the $7 billion "Solar for All" program, designed to provide affordable solar energy to low-income households. This decision, linked to a recently passed Republican spending bill, reverses Biden's climate agenda. The program, which funded rooftop solar, community solar farms, and battery storage, had already obligated funds to states. Grantees argue the administration cannot reclaim these funds and threaten legal action. Critics argue the move harms low-income families and hinders climate goals, negating potential energy bill savings and greenhouse gas emission reductions.
