Federal Court Rules Cancellation of Solar For All Program Unlawful

A federal judge in Rhode Island ruled that the EPA acted illegally by cancelling the $7 billion Solar For All program. The program was meant to cut electricity bills for over 900,000 households and create 200,000 jobs.

• Judge Mary McElroy: Congress intended EPA to continue the program, not terminate it
• The $7 billion program covered over 900,000 households, including tribal lands
• Expected savings of $350 million a year on electricity bills
• The Trump administration abruptly cancelled the program in August 2025 before funds reached communities
