U.S. Environmental Protection Agency terminates ‘Solar for All’ grant program

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has terminated the “Solar for All” grant program, a decision that has rescinded $7 billion in nationwide funding and directly impacts lower-income communities, including those in Indiana. The program, which was approved in 2024, was intended to provide clean energy access to underserved households. Indiana has lost $117 million that was designated for its solar initiatives. Green energy advocates have called the cancellation a major setback, as the program was designed to help an estimated 70,000 Indiana homes save up to 20% on their electric bills. It was also expected to create new job opportunities within the state’s clean energy sector. Alison Becker of Solar Opportunities Indiana confirmed the organization received a termination letter fr
