SolarCity Settles Grant Fraud Allegations

Originally published by Energy Legal Blog ®.

In another reminder that doing business with the federal government presents unique risks, on September 22, 2017, the U.S. Justice Department announced that SolarCity Corporation had agreed to pay $29.5 million to resolve the government’s allegations that SolarCity and related entities had violated the Civil False Claims Act. (31 U.S.C. § 3729.)  The allegations and settlement stem from federal grants for renewable energy projects under Section 1603 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. (Public Law 111-5.)
