Ohio’s clean energy industry is a significant part of the economy.
But where is all this economic activity happening?
That’s exactly what E2 — along with our partners at FracTracker Alliance — attempted to find out with this interactive map showing the location of clean energy businesses across the state as well as sites where renewable energy is generated.
The purpose of this map is to help policymakers, press and individuals better understand the scope of Ohio’s clean energy economy – and how much room it has to grow.
Strong clean energy standards in Ohio have supported the growth of a healthy industry. There are clean energy businesses in 92 out of Ohio’s 99 state house legislative districts. In particular, energy efficiency contractors dominate the map.
We’ve done our best to capture as many businesses as possible but we know we’ve missed some. This map isn’t comprehensive; it represents one snapshot in time of an industry to illustrate how robust it is.
If you know we’ve missed something, please send an email to Micaela Preskill at [email protected] and we’ll add it to the map.
When viewing the map, zoom in to see the intricacies of what’s happening in each part of the state. If you click “Layers” on the black bar at the top of the map you will see a drop-down menu, which you can use to make data appear or disappear on the map.
For more information about what you’re seeing, click directly on the map. A pop-up box will appear to show you specifics. Use the arrows on the top right of the pop-up box to see all the information that applies to that spot on the map. For example, if you click on a pin representing a energy efficiency contractor, you’ll see information about that business. You can also use the arrow to see what legislative districts that business is in.
