More than 20 states have sued the Environmental Protection Agency over canceling the $7 billion “Solar For All” program aimed at expanding solar access for low-income households. Created in 2022 under the Inflation Reduction Act, the program funded rooftop and community solar projects for nearly one million U.S. homes. The EPA withdrew about 90 % of allocated funds in August, leading to the lawsuit filed in the Western District of Washington. Washington, Arizona, and Minnesota are leading the case, claiming the agency violated the Administrative Procedures Act and exceeded its authority. Washington Attorney General Nick Brown said the decision jeopardized $156 million in state funds. Similar lawsuits have been filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and Rhode Island, arguing the EPA’s actions threaten affordable solar access and clean energy jobs.
