Biden Administration Awards Wyoming $30 Million From New ‘Solar for All’ Grant

By Jake Bolster

On Earth Day, President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) announced $7 billion in federal funds to help low- and middle-income residents and communities in all 50 states gain access to low-cost clean energy under the new Solar for All Program. Despite rising utility rates, or forecasted increases in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, those states did not directly apply for funding. Instead, the grants awarded to all three states will be administered by the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, an environmental climate and energy nonprofit.
