A new study commissioned by Pennsylvania-based renewable energy company Community Energyclaims that transitioning just 10% of the state’s electric generation to solar would “decrease the state’s wholesale electric costs by $619 million annually, while costing less than half that amount to make the transition, and would lower wholesale electric prices across the multi-state utility power grid, PJM […]
According to E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs), a national business group, Oregon already employs a clean energy workforce over 55,000 strong. Even more impressive, those jobs are found in every county in the state, with more than half located outside metro Portland.
Noah Dubin of the group E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs) says more than 90,000 Pennsylvanians now work clean energy jobs, including installing HVAC and LED lighting systems, solar panels and putting up wind turbines.
We need to challenge the government to think in a way beyond the traditional boxes in how we protect the planet [and] give people sustainable jobs,” said Councilwoman Maria Quiñones-Sánchez, who attended a news conference Tuesday on the newly released clean energy report from E2, also known as Environmental Entrepreneurs, a national, nonpartisan business group supporting […]

Pennsylvania’s clean energy sector continued its strong growth trend in 2018, topping 90,000 employees for the first time and adding jobs five times faster than the overall state employment growth rate.
Led by one of the nation’s top energy efficiency industries and supported by burgeoning renewable energy and clean vehicle sectors, Pennsylvania has developed one of the strongest diversified clean economies in the country with rural communities benefiting right alongside the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metro areas.
Since 2014, Pennsylvania has increased its workforce in clean technologies like renewables, energy efficiency, clean vehicles, storage, and grid modernization by nearly 60 percent – employing now twice as many workers as the state’s entire fossil fuel industry. This recent growth over the past several years has put Pennsylvania within 4,400 jobs of overtaking Virginia as the No. 10 state in the U.S. for clean energy employment.
According to Clean Jobs Pennsylvania 2019 (downloadable PDF), energy efficiency remains the largest clean energy employer with nearly 69,000 jobs. More Pennsylvanians also work in the renewable energy (9,200 jobs) and clean vehicles (7,800) sectors than ever before.
This report follows E2’s Clean Jobs America analysis which found the clean energy jobs account for nearly 3.3 million jobs across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Both reports expand on data from the U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER) produced by the Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) in partnership with the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), using data collected and analyzed by the BW Research Partnership. E2 is a partner on the USEER, the fourth installment of the energy survey first released by the Department of Energy in 2016. Clean energy jobs have grown every year since the first report was released in 2016.
