New cases bring more pressure on EPA to restore Solar for All 

Multiple new lawsuits challenging the unlawful termination of Solar for All highlight the importance of restoring the program. 

WASHINGTON – New lawsuits filed by Harris County, Texas and a coalition of state attorneys general this week are building pressure on the EPA to restore the Solar for All program. Democrats are also speaking out, sending a new letter signed by 32 Senators calling on Administrator Zeldin to immediately reinstate the program.  

SELC Litigation Director Kym Meyer shared the following statement: 

“The fact that four different lawsuits have been filed in four different courts across the country reflects the chaos this administration has created. But it also reflects the deeply personal stakes for communities across the country who are ready to push back against these unlawful actions and fight for Solar for All.” 

“We are grateful for the attorneys general and municipalities who are standing up for what’s right for their communities and for the rule of law.”  

The Southern Environmental Law Center, along with Lawyers for Good Government, Conservation Law Foundation, and the Lawyers Committee for Rhode Island, filed a legal challenge in federal court earlier this month on behalf of a coalition of businesses and nonprofits to reverse the Trump administration’s illegal termination of the $7 billion Solar for All program.
