California regulators and solar industry stakeholders are denouncing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's decision to eliminate the Solar for All grant program, designed to bring solar energy to low-income households.

The Environmental Protection Agency has terminated $7 billion in funding for solar programs approved under the Biden administration, including projects for nearly 1 million households in low-income communities.

Lower-income Hoosiers are more likely to live in older, less energy-efficient homes that use more power. Advocates say putting solar on these homes lowers their energy bills and reduces the need for more power plants which all electric utility customers pay for.
