The city of Benton Harbor might not be going solar, after all.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is terminating some $156 million in funding for Michigan’s Solar for All program, which was designed to bring renewable and affordable energy to low-income communities.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) had just announced a grant to Benton Harbor as part of its first round of Solar for Savings awards. The award was part of a statewide effort supporting pilot projects in eight communities aimed at helping low-income residents cut energy costs.

Benton Harbor city officials were planning to install solar panels at city facilities including City Hall, the water treatment plant, and the Bobo Brazil Community Center, with the goal of using electricity cost savings to reduce the amount area residents pay in their water bills.

EGLE Director Phil Roos criticized the EPA’s retroactive funding cut, saying, “This vital program would reduce energy costs for thousands of families and create hundreds of local jobs.” Roos added that the state is working with the Attorney General to determine next steps.

With the EPA canceling its $7 billion national grant program targeting low- and moderate-income households, the future of Benton Harbor’s solar projects—and the broader Michigan clean energy goals—now appear uncertain. EGLE had planned on another round of Solar for Savings grant applications in September, but now that is pending clarity on the future of the funding.
