The Trump administration is moving to take back more than $60 million in already-promised funding for low-income solar grants in Maine, part of a program commonly referred to as “Solar for All.”

Maine’s Governor’s Energy Office said Friday that it had received a termination letter from the Environmental Protection Agency, which in 2024 had awarded Maine $62 million to expand solar access for low-income communities.

The state office had been in the process of developing its plan for the money, which it had intended to begin distributing to Mainers by 2026.

Dan Burgess, director of the energy office, said terminating the program will only hurt Mainers.

“Thousands of Maine people stood to benefit from lower energy bills delivered by the Solar for All program,” Burgess said in a written statement. “Canceling the program deprives Maine of access to affordable solar, energy storage, and the skilled electricians, installers, and construction workers needed to meet our energy and economic needs now and in the future.”

Burgess said his team is reviewing “all options” to preserve the program. The energy office is reviewing the EPA’s notice and determining next steps alongside the Office of the Maine Attorney General, it said in its Friday announcement.

The termination comes as Maine seeks to procure 100% of the state’s retail electricity from clean and renewable sources by 2040. Meanwhile, electricity demand is expected to more than double by 2050.

This is a developing story.
