🎧 Listen: Climate United CEO Beth Bafford joined Amir Kirkwood and Neda Arabshahi on the Next City podcast to explore how climate finance is pressing forward despite frozen federal funds. Check out the full podcast hosted by Oscar Perry Abello ➡️ nextcity.org/podcast/a-fe...

Catalytic clean energy projects like this in DeQueen, AR create value for local governments, school districts, & hard-working Americans. Federal funding freezes have slowed the capital flowing to energy infrastructure, but that won't stop us bringing benefits of clean power directly to communities.

Energy efficiency and renewable energy have the power to transform lives.   In Minneapolis, the Native American Community Clinic is going green to reduce energy costs and serve more community members in a healthy environment.

Thank you to the 40 members of Congress that signed on to an Amicus Brief supporting our petition for rehearing. Read the full brief: www.courtlistener.com/docket/69899...

Last night, Climate United & other GGRF awardees filed a rehearing petition, appealing the recent decision from a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court. The petition argues that the panel erred in its ruling by dismissing Constitutional and APA claims, which warrants review by the full court.

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. Court of Appeals just ruled in favor of EPA's efforts to claw back billions of GGRF dollars that were legally obligated and disbursed last year. This is another hurdle in our fight to lower energy costs for the families and hardworking Americans who need it most.

“Energy efficiency has been part of CPC’s approach for decades. It keeps rents down. It provides much better air quality and health outcomes. It creates resilience against storms. And yes, it addresses getting carbon out of the atmosphere.” - Sadie McKeown www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

At a moment when energy costs are skyrocketing, Solar For All is projected to cut monthly energy bills for nearly one million rural, tribal and low-income households that need it most.

Our team at Climate United is not giving up on our vision of a cleaner, healthier future for all Americans. Senior Officer Cameron Oglesby shares her story in @triplepundit.bsky.social on why this work matters. ⬇️ www.triplepundit.com/story/2025/t...

Communities are paying the price for the EPA’s unlawful actions. Let’s work together to fill the gaps. 🤝 Read the Native Village of Port Heiden's story about how climate funding freezes are harming native Alaska communities counting on federal funds to lower energy costs. grist.org/climate/trum...

BREAKING: The House just passed the budget bill, which will increase the cost of electricity & kill millions of good paying jobs while slashing critical infrastructure investments, making communities more vulnerable & taking money out of the pockets of hardworking Americans that can least afford it.

☀️ We were honored to be a part of Scenic Hill Solar's ribbon cutting yesterday in De Queen, Arkansas! This project will generate affordable solar power for De Queen Public Schools & the local gov't that will save them over $2M in energy costs.

Big market gaps may leave 1/3 of Americans out of the clean energy transition. That's where we step in ➡️ Our strategy was built to unlock public and private capital to transform markets and improve lives across the country.

The Native Village of Port Heiden is facing an extreme energy crisis. Just as affordable and reliable clean energy through the GGRF was within reach, the EPA illegally froze the funds — leaving Port Heiden and many communities like theirs in the dark.

☎️ @bethbaff.bsky.social of @climateunited.bsky.social, Justice Climate Fund’s Amir Kirkwood, NYCEEC’s Curtis Probst and others who are shaping a new market for green lending – even as litigation continues, Wednesday, June 11 at 10am PT / 1pm ET. #RSVP today. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

"The nearly one-third of the US population that lives in communities that lack access to capital could miss out on the benefits of this transition. When a third of the country is locked out of the benefits of clean energy, it means the market is failing..."

Energy costs are skyrocketing & American families are paying the price. The solution? ➡️ Investing in clean energy and energy efficiency.

🚨NEW: A majority of voters — across party lines — support keeping the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. It's simple: delivering clean energy and jobs to communities across the country is popular; illegal attempts to derail the GGRF are not. Read the full poll: www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2025/5/...

Instead of taking up a frivolous court battle, the EPA should be celebrating new investments that create jobs, generate affordable energy, and save Americans money. This is bigger than our contract. Communities are relying on us. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

⚡ New Report: The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund will create transformative economic benefits for communities across the U.S. From coast to coast, clean energy projects are creating jobs, boosting manufacturing, and saving Americans money. Read the full analysis: energyinnovation.org/report/clean...

Every American deserves cleaner air, good-paying jobs, and affordable, reliable energy. That's what Congress promised through the GGRF program, and we're here to deliver for the communities we serve — not play politics. weareclimateunited.org/news/politic...

Hardworking American families are counting on us to do the job we were hired to do: invest in projects that improve lives.

⬇️ This is what's on the line for working class Americans across the country. We need to get back to work.

Though this continued delay is disappointing, we know this is yet another curve in a long, winding road to the finish line. We're confident in the merits of our case and dedicated to delivering clean energy that lowers energy costs, creates jobs, cuts pollution, and boosts American manufacturing.

“…the instability and uncertainty is not only going to impact what we can do today, but it's certainly going to impact the types of investments our country can make, what we can build, over the next 10 years, 20 years, 30 years." - Beth Bafford www.npr.org/2025/04/23/n...

‼️ UPDATE: Late yesterday, both EPA and Citibank appealed Judge Chutkan's order. The Court of Appeals has now ordered an administrative stay, pausing access to our accounts and preventing EPA from acting on their grant termination while they gain deeper understanding of the order.

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction that prevents the EPA from acting on their unlawful termination of our grant agreement and orders Citibank to disperse funds for expenses incurred before the freeze.

Thriving small businesses = thriving American economy. That's why our electric trucks program invests in small businesses like Bianca's to improve their bottom line while building a stronger American supply chain and reducing air pollution for port communities.

⭐️ Project Spotlight ⭐️ Native American Community Clinic plans to build a net-zero facility to serve an additional 3,000 patients annually & provide 83 affordable housing units. NACC hopes to use Climate United NEXT funds to reduce pollution & lower energy costs for the clinic & their residents.

A strong, advanced energy economy benefits all of us⚡ That’s why we invest in solutions that transform communities and save hard-working Americans money, all while boosting domestic manufacturing, creating jobs, and reducing pollution.

The Quapaw Nation of Oklahoma is scoping a community solar microgrid that would generate $280,000 in savings, increase sovereignty, and reduce tribal members’ energy burden. Because of EPA’s freeze, they have to look elsewhere for financing, raising costs.

Navajo Power Home is planning to electrify 5,000 homes in the Navajo Nation, with financing support from @climateunited.bsky.social — but those funds are now frozen. "They want Americans to be prioritized…well what about the first Americans, the ones that were here, the indigenous folks?”

Our work isn't about us. It's about putting people first, especially those who are too often the last to benefit from new tech & financing. Investing in rural, Tribal, & low-income communities has the power to transform markets & neighborhoods at the same time. www.newsweek.com/clean-energy...

When we made our commitment to deliver results for Americans across the country, we also committed to run this program with full transparency. That's why we're excited to share our response to EPA's recent oversight request: weareclimateunited.org/news/epa-ask...

Meet Alana Peterson, Executive Director of Spruce Root + GGRF champion 💪 Spruce Root is a Certified Native CDFI that works with groups like Metlakatla Power & Light to transform federal grants into energy resilience and economic sustainability for communities in Southeast Alaska.

It’s been a long road to get here, and we will continue pressing forward for the communities that are counting on these investments to lower energy costs, create jobs, and cut pollution. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

🎧 Listen: David Guistina's conversation with Dale Bryk on The Capitol Connection on @wamcradio.bsky.social discussing Climate United's impact in communities across the country. www.wamc.org/show/the-cap...

This evening, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order halting EPA from terminating Climate United’s award and providing a path forward to access our funds.

They have no evidence. We have real hard-working Americans and businesses counting on us for energy savings, jobs, and cleaner air and water.

This is the EPA’s latest attempt to unlawfully dismantle the congressionally appropriated National Clean Investment Fund. We remain focused on investing in projects that save Americans money, create jobs, and strengthen local communities.

We want to do the work. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/c...

Today, we’re filing in court to unfreeze our funds. This isn't a step we wanted to take. We hope for a quick resolution so we can continue to do the job that we were hired for: deliver clean energy savings, jobs, and economic growth to communities across America.

TODAY: Join Mission Investors Exchange at 1:30 pm ET/10:30 am PT to learn how to continue leveraging Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund funding. • Marla Bilonick, National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders • Joe Evans, @kresgefdn.bsky.social • Krystal Langholz, @climateunited.bsky.social
