Judge Orders EPA to Reinstate $7B Solar for All Funding
TL;DR
A Rhode Island federal judge vacated the EPA’s termination of the $7 billion Solar for All program, ruling the agency acted beyond its statutory authority and that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act did not convert the funding into a discretionary lump sum. The Solar for All funding, part of the Inflation Reduction Act’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, was obligated for five years; Congress later repealed the fund via the OBBBA. The court ordered the EPA to reinstate the program, a decision praised by climate and environmental-justice groups; the EPA did not immediately comment.
