New York’s clean energy economy is growing at more than double the rate of the overall state economy – exceeding 158,000 employees in 2019, according to the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority (NYSERDA).
More than 123,000 statewide jobs focused on energy efficiency, representing about 77 percent of all clean energy jobs, and a 35 percent employee growth rate for New York grid-modernization and energy-storage firms.
Ongoing research at institutions like Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University’s Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center regularly advance the clean energy industry employment opportunities.
