The Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is opening an audit into a $7 billion Biden-era solar deployment program, the OIG said in a Wednesday letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OIG is auditing the Solar For All program, which is part of the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund<\/a> (GGRF) created by the Inflation Reduction Act<\/a> (IRA). The Biden EPA used the program to route massive checks to sixty recipients<\/a> \u2014 primarily state governments \u2014around the country so that awardees could finance solar panel deployment in low-income areas. The Trump EPA is now following up on the program\u2019s funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur objective is to describe the status of funds, top recipients, and potential risks and impacts of the EPA\u2019s Solar for All program within the Office of the Administrator\u2019s Office of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund,\u201d the letter<\/a> reads. \u201cWe plan to conduct work at headquarters and regions, if necessary.\u201d (RELATED: Biden Admin Hands Out Hundreds Of Millions To Subsidize Solar In Some Of America\u2019s Least-Sunny Places)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
