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.

More than 8,100 Nevadans now work in clean energy in Storey County – giving it the highest density of clean energy jobs in the country, with 2,300 jobs per 1,000 employable residents.
Nevada’s wider clean economy is now dominated by three major industries within the broader sector— energy efficiency (11,000 jobs), solar (9,700 jobs), and energy storage (8,300 jobs). Combined, these industries account for 91 percent of all Nevada’s clean energy jobs. The number of solar jobs would have been even higher if the data was collected today, because it would more fully reflect demand increases spurred by the 2017 restoration of net metering.
