$7 billion competitive funding program for LMI solar development

The EPA has launched a $7 billion competitive funding program to fund solar development in LMI communities. Criteria for projects include whether they produce at least 20% bill savings, offer resilience benefits during power outages, and bolster workforce development. They plan to award up to 60 grants to states, territories, tribal govts, municipalities, and nonprofits through the Solar for All initiative.
