E2 only tracks projects that have been publicly announced since the IRA’s signing, and some projects don’t include investment data or job estimates, so the group notes that its numbers are pretty conservative. Even still, those 210 publicly announced projects across 39 states represent more than $86 billion in investments and at least 74,181 new jobs. “It’s like nothing we’ve seen in generations in this country,” E2’s executive director Bob Keefe said on a webinar announcing the numbers. “And by the way, it’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
