Solar groups sue Trump administration over cancellation of $7 billion in grants

The complaint, filed in federal court in Rhode Island, alleges that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its administrator, Lee Zeldin, broke the law when grants awarded in 2024 to 60 nonprofit groups, tribes and states were rescinded. Plaintiffs in the suit include the Rhode Island AFL-CIO union, the nonprofits Rhode Island Center for Justice and Solar United Neighbors, Pittsburgh-based solar installer Energy Independent Solutions, Black Sun Light Sustainability, an Indiana nonprofit project, Georgia companies Sunpath Solar and 2KB Energy Services, and Anh Nguyen, an Atlanta homeowner who applied to receive a solar installation through a Solar For All program in Georgia.
