The Environmental Protection Agency’s move to cancel $7 billion from an initiative aimed at helping low-income communities install solar panels will raise costs for many at a time of rising electricity prices, grantees of the program are warning.

The program in question, Solar for All , is part of the Biden administration’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which was established as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act passed by Democrats. It awarded funding to 60 states and nonprofit groups to help install solar energy and storage across the nation. The Biden EPA said the program would save households about $400 a year in electricity bills.
