Maine could lose $62M low-income solar grant under EPA proposal

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 6, 2025

A proposal to cut billions in federal grants designed to help low-income communities install solar energy projects could claw back over $60 million awarded to Maine and impede the state’s clean energy transition. The Environmental Protection Agency is reportedly moving to terminate the $7 billion “Solar for All” grant program and is already drafting termination letters to 60 recipients, including the state of Maine.
