Biden Administration's $2 Billion Grant to Abrams-Linked Group Faces Intense Scrutiny

Funds allocated to Power Forward Communities, a fledgling nonprofit, raise questions about oversight and ethics in green energy grants.

The Biden administration awarded $2 billion to Power Forward Communities, a nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams, despite the organization reporting only $100 in revenue during its initial months of operation.
The grant was part of the EPA’s $20 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which was established under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to support green energy initiatives.
The funds were parked in an external Citibank account, a move that limits the current administration's ability to reclaim them and raises concerns about oversight and accountability.
Critics allege that the grant selection process favored politically connected groups, with Abrams serving as senior counsel for one of the coalition's lead organizations, Rewiring America.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has pledged to investigate the allocation of these funds, citing potential waste and abuse in the program’s administration.
