The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said on Aug. 7 it was terminating a $7 billion grant program designed to provide solar energy grants to over 900,000 low-income households.

The Solar for All program, established by the Biden administration through the Inflation Reduction Act, awarded grants in April 2024 to 60 recipients—including states, territories, tribes, and nonprofits—to expand solar energy access to low-income and disadvantaged communities, reduce energy costs, and address climate concerns.
