Solar for None? What's next after federal program axed.
Soldier on. Hang it up. Fight. Those are some of the options that solar energy nonprofits and states are weighing after the Trump administration moved last week to terminate the Biden-era $7 billion Solar for All program. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin argued that July's passage of President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act means the agency lacks both the authority and the money 'to keep this boondoggle alive.' So far, none of the 60 awardees has announced plans to challenge the actions nor to agree to the terminations. But three recipients, granted anonymity to speak about internal discussions, told our Jean Chemnick they're weighing both options — including whether to accept EPA's offer for access to money to help wind down their programs. EPA is 'basically trying to make it sound like you'll never get your funding unless you agree to their terms, and that's just not correct,' Jillian Blanchard, vice president of climate and environmental justice at Lawyers for Good Government, told Jean about EPA's termination notices. 'People are owed what they're owed.' President Joe Biden's climate law created Solar for All as part of the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. It was designed to promote community solar energy in underserved areas, through grants to each state and territory, though some grants went to nonprofits in states whose leaders did not want it. The awards ranged from $43.5 million to nearly $250 million. The Trump administration has been trying for months to terminate the other $20 billion of grants in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, but Solar for All had been safe, until Trump's megabill became law. Representatives of the three recipients told Jean that some awardees don't have the money to continue their activities without the federal money. Some can't even access EPA's grant portal to cover past outlays. Duanne Andrade, executive director of the Solar and Energy Loan Fund, which received a $156 million grant to set up a solar revolving loan for Florida, called EPA's move 'disheartening.' 'In Florida, we're about to see the highest energy rate increase in history,' she told Jean. 'And all of this impacts low- and moderate-income people more than anyone. These are the people that are paying more already for capital, for energy, for housing, for everything.' Senate Democrats enter the frayMeanwhile, supporters of Solar for All are pushing back on the Trump administration's justification for terminating the grants. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) argued in a Friday letter that the Republican law repealed only unobligated funds. EPA had already obligated the Solar for All money, so it can't be clawed back, they said, citing statements from congressional Republicans and the Congressional Budget Office. 'Neither CBO nor Republicans understood the repeal and rescission of the GGRF to save anything more than EPA's unspent oversight dollars,' the Democrats write. 'Wishful statutory interpretation on the part of EPA does not enable EPA to cancel lawfully obligated grants.' It's Friday — thank you for tuning in to POLITICO's Power Switch.

Send your tips, comments, questions to tcama@ Today in POLITICO Energy's podcast: Jessie Blaeser breaks down the exaggerated cost-savings numbers from the Department of Government Efficiency. Power Centers Wind, solar crackdown deepensThe Treasury Department tightened the rules Friday for renewable energy projects to qualify for federal tax credits. The new Treasury Department guidance would undo years of existing practice defining when a solar or wind project has started construction, a key metric that spells out when developers can claim tax credits, Kelsey Tamborrino and James Bikales report. The guidance comes after Trump ordered Treasury in July to tighten the definition for the start of construction, in an attempt to limit 'market distorting subsidies for unreliable, foreign controlled energy sources.' The Treasury rules have been at the center of tug-of-war between Republican moderates and hardliners in recent months, Benjamin Storrow writes. Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and John Curtis of Utah, moderate Republicans, have argued that Treasury should continue to employ the traditional definition for the start of construction, while conservatives like Rep. Chip Roy of Texas have argued for a more stringent definition. The still-mysterious Empire Wind studyA federal records request by POLITICO's E&E News returned an almost completely redacted study by the Trump administration that had been used to justify canceling the Empire Wind project off the New York coast earlier this year, Ian M. Stevenson and Mike Soraghan write. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said the Biden administration 'rushed approval' of the project based on 'flawed science.' Construction later restarted, but Interior has repeatedly refused to release the study cited by Burgum. In the copy of the report, 27 pages were fully blacked out. Interior cited a 'deliberative process' privilege that agencies sometimes use.

Opendoor stock pops 10% as CEO resigns following investor pressure campaign
Opendoor shares popped about 10% on Friday after CEO Carrie Wheeler said she's resigning from the online real estate company, which has seen a surge in recent interest from retail investors. Pressure began building on Wheeler, who took over the top job in 2022, after the company's quarterly earnings report earlier this month failed to reassure investors that a turnaround is underway. The stock is up more than sixfold since bottoming out at 51 cents in June, a price that put the company at risk of being delisted from the Nasdaq. "The last weeks of intense outside interest in Opendoor have come at a time when the company needs to stay focused and charging ahead," Wheeler wrote in a post on X. "I believe the best thing I can do for Opendoor now is to accelerate my succession plans that I shared with the Board mid-year and make room for new leadership to take the reins." Opendoor's business involves using technology to buy and sell homes, pocketing the gains. In its latest earnings report, Opendoor said it expects to acquire just 1,200 homes in the third quarter, down from 1,757 in the second quarter and 3,504 in the third quarter of 2024. It's also pulling down marketing spending. Hedge fund manager Eric Jackson, who spearheaded Opendoor's stock jump in July, celebrated the news and told his new band of followers on X, "Let's start THINKING BIG AGAIN." Jackson said last month on X that his firm had taken a stake in the company and was betting it would be a "100-bagger over the next few years." Jackson has been a loud voice on X pushing for Wheeler's departure, and was recently joined by Opendoor co-founder and venture capitalist Keith Rabois, who posted on Aug. 13 that "not a single founder nor executive" who guided the company to its IPO supports Wheeler as CEO. Opendoor on Friday named technology chief Shrisha Radhakrishna as "president and interim leader" and said a CEO search is underway. Opendoor went public through a special purpose acquisition company in 2020, riding a SPAC wave supported by low interest rates and Covid-era market euphoria. The soaring inflation and rising interest rates that followed hit all of technology stocks, but had an outsized impact on Opendoor due it its direct exposure to mortgage rates. The company lost 99% of its value from early 2021 through its trough in June. With Friday's gains, its market cap stands at about $2.5 billion.
