Key Developments & Data
A federal judge in Rhode Island ruled that the EPA acted without statutory authority when it canceled the $7B Solar for All program.
The agency rescinded the funds in August 2025 following the passage of a massive tax and spending law.
The initiative was originally designed to provide solar access to more than 900,000 lower-income Americans.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin previously justified the cancellation by calling the Biden-era program a "boondoggle."
"If and when the program does get up and running, there will be thousands and thousands of union jobs created across the United States." — Patrick Crowley
