Program objective

The Inflation Reduction Act amends the Clean Air Act to include Section 134 (42 USC § 7434), which authorizes the EPA to make competitive grants for Zero-Emissions Technologies. EPA awarded $7 billion in competitive grants to implement Clean Air Act Section 134 (a)(1) through the Solar for All program, which will prioritize residential and community solar projects, as well as storage technologies and upgrades related to these projects. In FY 2025 sixty (60) grant recipients will create new or expand existing low-income solar programs which will enable over 900,000 households in low-income and disadvantaged communities to benefit from distributed solar energy. This program will deliver on the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund’s objectives by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollution, delivering cost savings on electric bills for overburdened households, and unlocking new markets for distributed solar in states and territories that have never had a statewide low-income solar program before.
