New York’s clean energy industry is thriving.
But what, exactly, does the economic activity happening all across the state look like?
E2 — along with our partners at FracTracker Alliance, and in continuing partnership with New Yorkers for Clean Power and the Alliance for Clean Energy New York — attempted to find out.
We compiled a series of four maps showing the location of clean energy businesses across the state as well as sites where renewable energy is generated.
The purpose of the maps is to help policymakers, press and individuals better understand the scope of New York’s clean energy economy — and how much room it has to grow.
When viewing the map, note the “Layers” option on the black bar at the top of the map. Click the drop-down menu to select different layers of information. When a layer is selected, a description of that layer is displayed in the left-hand column.

In June 2017, E2 released “Opportunity Lost: How Rolling Back the Clean Power Plan Hurts America’s Economy.”
The Trump Administration’s effort to unwind the Clean Power Plan (CPP) represents a failure to capitalize on the economic and environmental benefits of clean energy.
Analysis shows that the CPP could create up to 560,000 jobs and add $52 billion to the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2030. From states with relatively small populations like Maine and Montana to highly populated states like Florida, the CPP could have substantial employment and economic benefits – benefits that would disappear with the Trump Administration’s repeal of the policy.
Policymakers should oppose any efforts to weaken or rescind the CPP because doing so would reduce the employment and economic opportunities that come with it. Policymakers should also pursue other smart clean energy policies that support great efficiency, renewable energy, electric vehicles, and grid modernization efforts, which would further grow our nation’s economy while accelerating the urgently needed transition to a low-carbon future
