Overview

• A multistate coalition filed paired lawsuits seeking to overturn the EPA’s August cancellation of Solar for All, pursuing money damages in the Court of Federal Claims and injunctive relief in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.
• California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the CPUC joined attorneys general from more than 20 jurisdictions, with the governors of Kentucky and Pennsylvania and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation also signing on.
• Plaintiffs allege the EPA breached grant agreements and unlawfully revoked funds Congress appropriated, and they ask courts to restore awards and reinstate the program.
• North Carolina reports about 12,500 families qualified for roughly $156 million, only about $6 million was disbursed before the shutdown, and the state seeks to restart remaining payments.
• EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the termination in August as the administration argued it could curtail payments; the agency declined comment on the new litigation.
