West Virginia's Clean Energy Jobs Potential Through 2030

Research output: NRELFact Sheet

Abstract

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, West Virginia had 1,129,785 people in its working population (15 to 64 years of age) in 2019. The graphs below show solar photovoltaic (PV), land-based wind, battery energy storage (BES), and energy efficiency job estimates in 2020, 2025, and 2030. These job estimates do not represent net job creation. Rather, they represent the size of the workforce required to achieve projected national deployment levels of each technology for 2025 and 2030 if the state captures the same proportion of jobs in the sector as it did in 2020.
