A federal judge ruled that the EPA unlawfully ended a 7 billion dollar solar grant program created during the Biden administration. The ruling said existing grants should not have been canceled. The EPA is reviewing the ruling and may appeal.

Facts:

Congress approved funding for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund in 2022.

The Solar for All grant program was created in June 2023 with 7 billion dollars.

The program was designed to help low income and disadvantaged communities use residential solar power.

The Trump administration EPA canceled the program.

An audit found that about 71 million dollars had been used by early August 2025.

Judge Mary McElroy ruled that ending the program was unlawful.

The judge ruled that existing grants should not be rescinded.

The EPA is reviewing the ruling and considering an appeal.

A Rhode Island union leader said the state could receive about 49 million dollars.
