The Environmental Protection Agency has terminated $156M in Solar for All funding in Nevada for rooftop solar panels targeted toward providing low-income Nevadans with clean energy.

Solar for All was created as a $7B program that consisted of 60 grants across every state. The program was intended to provide funding for solar panels on homes and businesses.

The One Big Beautiful Bill retracted $27B from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, part of the Inflation Reduction Act that funded the Solar for All program.

The Nevada Clean Energy Fund, the nonprofit responsible for the funds delivered via the Solar for All grant, released estimates that found the Solar for All program would have reduced power bills for 50,000 Nevadans.

The program was expected to create around 1,000 new jobs. The Nevada Clean Energy Fund argued that the government is legally obligated to provide the funding. (Source)
