Report Highlights

• Good-paying jobs:��Clean energy factory workers earn 35% more than the average American worker.����
• Significant growth in 2025:��70 new manufacturing facilities came online in 2025, bringing total to over 825 facilities across all 50 states with large clusters in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia,��Ohio��and North Carolina.������
• Energizing communities: Every clean energy manufacturing job supports an additional four jobs across the broader U.S. economy – one additional job from driving upstream activities, and three additional jobs from household spending.��
• Core power: More than 300 U.S. factories are producing the core components of clean energy projects, including wind blades, towers, nacelles, solar modules, and batteries.��
• Cross-technology capacity:��Domestic manufacturing capacity is now sufficient to meet U.S. demand for solar modules, battery modules, wind towers, and wind nacelles.��
• Looking��into ACP’s crystal ball: By 2030, over 950 manufacturing facilities are expected to support 374,000 jobs.��

As these frameworks continue to evolve, increasing attention is placed on operational reliability considerations associated with emerging load characteristics and dynamic load behavior. At the same time, grid operators and policymakers are evaluating approaches that can facilitate reliable and timely energization of large-load facilities while long-term transmission infrastructure is developed, including flexible frameworks designed to support accelerated integration under evolving system conditions.

This load growth era represents an enormous opportunity for the clean energy industry, but for that opportunity to be realized, large load and generator interconnection processes must be designed in ways that are transparent, consistent with principles of open access, and are not unduly discriminatory to clean energy resources.

For these reasons, ACP seeks to establish general advocacy principles and guidelines that can be utilized by ACP and member companies to craft regulatory frameworks that will facilitate the interconnection of large loads, while also creating market opportunities for clean power resources.

Report Highlights:����

• Over 90% of New Power:��Utility-scale solar, wind, and energy storage accounted for 91% of all new power capacity connected to the U.S. grid, delivering over 50 gigawatts of new supply – enough to power��roughly 7��million homes.��������
• $150 Billion Economic Driver:��The U.S. clean power industry contributed over��$150 billion��to the U.S. economy in 2025.��
• Powering Rural America:��Clean��power’s��363 GW of operational projects generates approximately��$3 billion��annually in state and local tax revenue and��$3.2 billion��in land lease payments that provide reliable income to landowners.��
• 1.4��Million��Jobs Supported:��In 2025, the clean power industry directly employed more than 437,000 Americans – and broader economic activity around the clean energy sector means the industry supports more than 1.4 million jobs nationwide.��
• Above-Average Wages:��Americans directly employed by the industry earned over $78,000 on average in 2025, 15% higher than the national average.����
• Non-Partisan Investment:��Clean power projects can be found in all 50 states and 89% of congressional districts. Notably, 79% of installed clean power capacity is in districts represented by Republicans.��
