The CEO of Tofurky on how the policy can help manufacturers slash energy bills and add jobs.
Massachusetts’ clean energy economy is open for business.
With nearly 120,000 jobs statewide in fields such as renewables, clean vehicles manufacturing, and energy efficiency, the Commonwealth’s clean energy economy employs more than giants like Partners Healthcare (around 60,000 workers), the University of Massachusetts (25,000), and Stop & Shop (20,000).
According to the 2019 Clean Jobs Massachusetts analysis (downloadable PDF) Massachusetts ranks seventh for total clean jobs among all U.S. States, including second in solar energy behind only California. In fact, Massachusetts’ strong solar energy industry employs over 50% more workers than the third ranked state (New York). While over 82,000 Massachusetts clean jobs are in the Boston metro area (which ranks fourth in the U.S.), 29% of the state’s jobs are outside Boston.
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.

Encompassing nearly 150,000 jobs, New York’s booming clean energy economy employs more New Yorkers than giants like Northwell Health (around 54,000 workers), Mount Sinai Health System (32,000) and Walmart (28,000).
According to the 2019 Clean Jobs New York analysis (downloadable PDF) of energy jobs data by the national nonpartisan business group E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs), New York’s clean energy economy now ranks in the nation’s top 10 for jobs in energy efficiency (No. 3), solar (No. 3), advanced transportation (No. 9), and wind (No. 10).
While New York City has the second most clean energy jobs in the U.S. with more than 96,000, behind only Los Angeles, clean energy’s impact reaches far beyond New York’s major metropolitan areas. One out of every seven clean energy workers are employed counties with population below 300,000 while 9,500 jobs are in the state’s rural areas.

According to the 2019 Clean Jobs Nevada analysis (downloadable PDF) of energy jobs data by the national nonpartisan business group E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs), Nevada’s clean energy economy exploded in 2018 — adding nearly 8,000 jobs and making the state no. 1 clean energy job growth (32.4%).
Overall, clean energy jobs totaled more than 32,000 at the end of 2018, with the biggest benefactor being Storey County near Reno, home to Tesla’s Gigafactory battery plant. 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.
