The Trump administration is reportedly planning to reduce solar subsidies established during Biden’s presidency by about $7 billion, as indicated by the New York Times.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is purportedly drafting termination letters for 60 nonprofits and state agencies that received taxpayer funding under Biden’s solar initiative. According to two anonymous sources, this plan emerged as the EPA began reviewing the program back in March. Additionally, the agency is in process of distributing $200 billion in grants from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which totals $27 billion and was created through Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

An EPA spokesperson noted that the agency is making efforts to ensure the law’s intentions are upheld: “With the passage of one big beautiful bill, the EPA is working to ensure that Congressional intentions are fully implemented in accordance with the law.”

According to the New York Times, the EPA is expected to issue the letters later this week. The solar initiative, under Biden, aimed to boost solar energy projects in low-income and disadvantaged communities, a strategy intended to promote environmental justice across the U.S. by 2050. However, some subsidies for solar projects have also gone to regions in America that aren’t necessarily known for abundant sunlight.

One significant recipient of these solar funds was the Bullard Center for Environmental Climate Justice at Texas Southern University, which was awarded $156 million. Robert Bullard, who founded the center and has a notable background on Biden’s White House Environmental Justice Advisory Committee, has been a prominent figure in this initiative.

Lee Zeldin, the EPA administrator, has mentioned cutting various environmental justice grants and expressed the need to return taxpayer money responsibly. The original mission of the EPA has been to protect human health and the environment. Already, the EPA has paused a $20 billion grant program that was accessible to many green organizations, which has since led to ongoing legal disputes. The existing solar funds are part of the remaining amount from the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

The Bullard Center did not respond to requests for comment regarding this situation.
