WASHINGTON (WV News) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced it will formally end a solar expansion program that promised to bring more than $100 million to West Virginia.
Following media reports that the agency was considering cutting the Solar for All program, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin posted a video to social media Thursday evening confirming its end.
“The Trump EPA is fully committed to following the law and being a great steward of your taxpayer dollars,” he said. “Since being signed into law on Independence Day, EPA has been diligently working to implement President Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ in accordance with congressional intent.”
The domestic spending bill includes the elimination of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which was created in 2022 through the Inflation Reduction Act, Zeldin said.
