EPA Says It Unfroze $7 Billion ‘Solar for All’ Grant Program

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has lifted a freeze on the $7 billion Solar for All grant program, which was paused following an executive order by President Donald Trump. The program, funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, was designed to support community solar projects across the U.S. EPA officials stated that payment accounts for grant recipients are now accessible. Meanwhile, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin continues to review broader Biden-era climate initiatives and is attempting to claw back $20 billion from other climate-focused grants distributed to nonprofits and community organizations. The funding freeze was part of a wider effort to reevaluate federal climate spending, raising concerns among environmental advocates about the future of clean energy investments.
