"Biden-Harris Administration Launches $7 Billion Solar for All Grant Competition to Bring Solar Power to Low-Income Households"
The Biden-Harris Administration has launched a $7 billion grant competition called Solar for All, aimed at increasing access to affordable and clean solar energy for low-income households. The competition, funded by President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, will award grants to states, territories, Tribal governments, municipalities, and eligible nonprofits to create and expand low-income solar programs. These programs will provide financing, technical assistance, and workforce development to enable low-income and disadvantaged communities to deploy and benefit from residential solar. The initiative aims to lower energy costs, create jobs, advance environmental justice, and tackle the climate crisis.
