A business group that advocates for clean energy estimates that 403,000 jobs will be created by the 210 major energy projects announced since the Inflation Reduction Act took effect in mid-2022.

FILE - Nicholas Hartnett, owner of Pure Power Solar, carries a panel as he and Brian Hoeppner, right, install a solar array on the roof of a home in Frankfort, Ky., July 17, 2023. A business group that advocates for clean energy says at least $86 billion in investments have been announced, with the biggest likely job gains in electric vehicles, battery storage and solar energy.

“We’re in the biggest economic revolution we’ve seen in generations thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act and other clean energy policies," said E2 executive director Bob Keefe. “We would not have Weirton without West Virginia and we would not be going as fast as we’re going without the IRA,” Jaramillo said.

Such a significant investment in climate action comes with hurdles to cross in the labor sector, experts say.
