DEQ has received and is reviewing a letter from EPA on the termination of the Solar for All program. This would eliminate $156 million in funding for North Carolinians. In collaboration with a coalition of expert partners, this statewide program is intended to provide financial incentives to build solar energy and storage system infrastructure for low- and moderate-income households and communities across the state. An estimated 12,000 households would benefit from this program, particularly Tier 1 (economically distressed) counties. Participating families would be expected to see at least a 20% reduction in home energy bills.
The solar energy industry employs more than 9,000 people across more than 200 businesses statewide. The resilience benefits of this program are particularly important in North Carolina after recent extreme weather events. Termination of this program puts economic prosperity and energy security at risk for all North Carolinians.
