Statement from Governor Murphy on the Announced Termination of Solar for All (SFA) Grants

“This reckless declaration by the Trump Administration will directly increase household energy costs for our most vulnerable families — and it could not come at a worse moment.

“At a time when Americans are struggling with skyrocketing energy costs, the Solar for All (SFA) program would have helped lower costs for working families up and down the Garden State, in towns represented by both Democrats and Republicans. This program was estimated to help thousands of our state’s low-income households save $400 every year.

“Instead, the Trump Administration has now chosen to say it is pulling support for a commonsense program that would have delivered cleaner energy and lower costs.

“Americans deserve better, and the Trump Administration must reconsider this about-face. I am committed to supporting the continued expansion of solar energy, which powers 750,000 homes across New Jersey and has the potential to create thousands of more good-paying jobs and make energy more affordable for many years to come.”
