The motion would ultimately lead to the creation of a fully integrated Western regional electrical grid and […]
Onkieki cites information from E2’s “Clean Jobs America” release in an article highlighting clean energy jobs in Georgia. The growth in the sector could in part be attributed to the economic and environmental benefits of clean energy, said Bob Keefe,the Executive Director at E2, a non-partisan business group that advocates for clean energy policy. “What the […]
As our recently released Clean Jobs America report shows, America is now home to nearly 3.2 million clean energy jobs. That’s more than 3 million Americans who go to work each and every day in solar, wind, energy efficiency, clean vehicles, and other jobs in the clean energy economy. Join E2 to celebrate the continued […]
Ohio’s clean energy industry is a significant part of the economy.
But where is all this economic activity happening?
That’s exactly what E2 — along with our partners at FracTracker Alliance — attempted to find out with this interactive map showing the location of clean energy businesses across the state as well as sites where renewable energy is generated.
The purpose of this map is to help policymakers, press and individuals better understand the scope of Ohio’s clean energy economy – and how much room it has to grow.
Strong clean energy standards in Ohio have supported the growth of a healthy industry. There are clean energy businesses in 92 out of Ohio’s 99 state house legislative districts. In particular, energy efficiency contractors dominate the map.
We’ve done our best to capture as many businesses as possible but we know we’ve missed some. This map isn’t comprehensive; it represents one snapshot in time of an industry to illustrate how robust it is.
If you know we’ve missed something, please send an email to Micaela Preskill at [email protected] and we’ll add it to the map.
When viewing the map, zoom in to see the intricacies of what’s happening in each part of the state. If you click “Layers” on the black bar at the top of the map you will see a drop-down menu, which you can use to make data appear or disappear on the map.
For more information about what you’re seeing, click directly on the map. A pop-up box will appear to show you specifics. Use the arrows on the top right of the pop-up box to see all the information that applies to that spot on the map. For example, if you click on a pin representing a energy efficiency contractor, you’ll see information about that business.

In an article warning against Iowa legislation to gut energy efficiency, Williams cites E2 data: “The legislation would “stifle a growing, prosperous industry” in Iowa, the sustainability-focused business group Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2) has warned. In 2016, more than 20,000 Iowans worked in energy efficiency jobs such as retrofitting homes and businesses to make them more energy efficient. Clean […]
Clean energy creates jobs, supports local tax bases and infrastructure development, while providing new opportunities for farmers—driving economic benefits that are becoming ever more apparent. In rural communities facing economic challenges, investments in wind, solar, and energy efficiency are growing. This report from E2 focuses on one part of America – the rural Midwest – that exemplifies the growth in clean energy jobs in rural areas nationwide.
More than 8,000 new rural clean energy jobs were added in the 12-state Midwest region stretching from Ohio to North Dakota in 2016 alone, bringing the total number of rural Americans who work in clean energy in this region to nearly 148,000 (see Figure 1)—nearly a 6 percent increase over 2015. Of those 148,000 jobs, almost 22,000 are in renewable energy generation, with the rest in energy efficiency and sustainable transportation.
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.

Illinois supports 119,395 clean energy jobs – 2017 Clean Jobs Midwest Report
Over 3 million Americans work in clean energy – Clean Jobs America
Michigan’s clean energy economy is clearly thriving.
But where is all this economic activity happening?
That’s exactly what E2 — along with our partners at FracTracker Alliance — attempted to find out with this series of interactive maps showing the location of more than 1,200 clean energy businesses across the state as well as sites where renewable energy is generated.
Since Michigan passed legislation in 2008 requiring utilities to generate 10% of their electricity from renewables by 2015, we’ve seen the state’s clean energy economy grow. Then in December of 2016 lawmakers decided to uphold and improve aspects of the state’s clean energy standards. The renewable portfolio standard was increased and new energy efficiency incentives were created to push utilities to do more. With recently strengthened laws, it is no surprise that Michigan’s clean energy sector – as seen on this series of maps – is so robust.
The purpose of these maps is to help policymakers, press and individuals better understand the scope of Michigan’s clean energy economy – and how much room it has to grow.

We’ve created 3 maps to show different parts of Michigan’s clean energy economy. One map shows clean energy businesses, one shows renewable energy utility-scale infrastructure, and one shows renewable energy potential.
