According to an analysis of every Oregon state senate district, more than 55,400 Oregonians now work in clean energy industries and more than $6.7 billion has been invested in wind and solar energy projects – generating $258 million in public revenue.
Oregon’s Statewide 2019 Clean Energy Jobs Report
Who Are My Representatives?
This job growth and development has been driven by smart policies like the Renewable Portfolio Standard, Clean Fuels Program and Coal to Clean.
But this growth is only scratching the surface of what Oregon’s clean energy economy can achieve according to this latest analysis. By passing the state a cap and invest program during the 2020 legislative cycle, Oregon could nearly double its total clean energy jobs (adding 50,000), increase real GDP 2.5% by 2050, and generate $4.5 billion in proceeds to be invested in communities throughout Oregon by 2030.

U.S. Energy & Employment Report (USEER)
This district-by-district 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.

Michigan has for decades underinvested in its water infrastructure at the expense of the economy and the health of families in the state. To ensure Michigan’s economy continues to grow — and that all Michiganders enjoy a high quality of life — this gap should be closed.
Fortunately, investing an additional $12.2 billion in Michigan’s own water infrastructure needs on top of existing expenditures would over the next two decades help create nearly 90,000 direct job-years in multiple industries — including good jobs for veterans — while generating about $441.3 million in additional earned income for state residents annually.
This essential spending would also help businesses in the state’s water services industry become national leaders in developing and commercializing new water technologies, just as early-mover states like California have become national leaders in clean tech. And it would ensure that all Michigan industries, whether they are directly or indirectly reliant on clean, affordable water, are in the best position possible for decades of ongoing growth.
But first, we must fix the system.
For the jobs, income and tax revenue data, E2 contracted BW Research which used the Emsi Input-Output model that traces spending and infrastructural developments through the economy to determine the economic impact of the change in water infrastructure spending in the state of Michigan.45
The cumulative effects of the initial job change are quantified and the results are categorized into direct, indirect and induced effects.

Colorado is leading the Mountain West’s clean energy economy.
With nearly 60,000 clean energy workers now, the state’s potential reached new heights in 2018 with strong employment growth across cleantech sectors (4.8%)—far outpacing overall national (1.5%) and statewide (2.4%) job growth.
According to Clean Jobs Colorado 2019 (downloadable PDF) report, Colorado’s is now among the top 10 states for jobs in three sectors: wind energy (3rd), bioenergy (9th), and overall renewable energy (6th). The state fell just outside the Top 10 in solar energy (11th). However, the majority of Colorado’s clean energy job growth came from energy efficiency and clean vehicles, which grew 7.2% and 22.5%respectively.
Analyzing the state geographically,the employment analysis found that while Denver and Boulder accounted for nearly one out of every three clean jobs in the state, about 20 percent (29,000) are in areas outside the Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins metro areas. Additionally, all 64 counties in the state are home to clean energy workers, with 11 counties supporting at least 1,100. Denver led all counties with more than 13,200 jobs, followed by Arapahoe (7,600) and Jefferson (5,800) counties. By density, Jackson, Denver, and Boulder counties led the state in clean jobs per 1,000 employable residents. All 64 counties in Colorado are home to clean energy workers, with 11 counties supporting over 1,000 jobs.
Smart policies such as the Zero-Emission Vehicle standards adopted by Colorado’s Air Quality Control Commission in August and Gov. Polis’ roadmap to 100% renewable energy will help ensure that Colorado’s clean energy economy keeps growing. And businesses have noticed, with Colorado clean energy employers predicting they’ll add jobs more than twice as fast in 2019 (10.3%) as 2018.

The best chance to move on climate policy now comes in the form of tax extenders. These clean energy extenders are incentives that habitually expire and have to be renewed – or ‘extended’ – by Congress, usually on an annual basis. With increased interest around providing market certainty to a suite of clean energy technologies […]
