The Biden administration announced in April 2024 that 60 non-profit and state groups would get $ 7 billion in grant prizes for setting up nationwide residential solar, which was predicted by the administration leaders that would lead to more than $ 350 million in annual savings on electricity bills for medium and low-to-come homes. It is not clear how much has already been spent in $ 7 billion funds.

The program was funded through inflation reduction act, and was deferred as a win by Biden’s EPA Administrator Michael Regan and John Podesta, Biden advisor for the International Climate Policy, John Podesta, as a win for low -income homes for the need for cheap electricity bills.

“Solar is the cheapest form of electricity – and one of the best ways to reduce energy costs for American families, Podesta said in a press release at that time, “Today’s announcement of EPA solar for all awards would mean the low-income communities, and not only well-closed communities, will feel the cost-saving benefits of solar thanks to this investment.”

Biden kept the Green Energy initiative as the highest priority during his presidential post. For example, on the making days of his administration, he became the first sitting US President to visit Amazon Renforest to avoid his green heritage before departing, and was also declared during a climate summit in September 2024 that he and the then President Kamla Harris could not be stated “despite” an ambitious climate policy “.
