For the first time ever, solar is on track to generate more electricity than coal in Texas in 2026. Solar's share of energy generation in Texas has tripled since 2021, from 4% to 12%, helping power one of the fastest-growing electricity markets in the country. American clean power is meeting American demand — at speed and at scale. https://lnkd.in/e-fb27zZ

Last year’s inaugural State of Clean Energy Manufacturing in America report found that federal energy incentives sparked a rapid wave of interest to build in America. This year’s report reveals that the momentum is only accelerating—with 70 new manufacturing facilities coming online in the past year alone, led by major growth across the solar and energy supply chain. Explore these trends with extra nuance provided by APC's Anthony Fratto and Vanessa Sciarra in the latest Powerline Blog: https://lnkd.in/eVRTFP3x

Proud to partner with IOF as we work alongside industry to strengthen and support the clean energy workforce! This work starts by listening to workers themselves. Through surveys, interviews, and focus groups with more than 400 clean energy construction workers, we’re gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges impacting retention, stability, and long-term workforce resilience. At the same time, we’re continuing to advance industry-recognized certifications that help raise standards for safety, quality, and career mobility across clean energy. We’re excited to keep turning these insights into action together with industry partners, educators, and workers themselves.
Clean energy is growing. But the clean energy workforce isn’t keeping pace. Our colleagues at Clean Power Institute are working to figure out why—and how to change it. Recently, they set out to gain a deeper understanding of clean energy worker experiences by talking with workers themselves, starting with the construction sector. With support from IOF, they surveyed over 400 workers involved in clean energy construction projects, ran focus groups, and held one-on-one interviews to identify common concerns and aspirations. They learned many workers struggle with time away from family as they completed jobs in remote locations. Others noted the unpredictability of contract work led to issues around financial stability, personal financial management, and inconsistent access to healthcare. They also voiced clear interest in earning certifications—something CPI knows a thing or two about. IOF’s first grant to CPI supported the creation of a wind technician certification and associated training components. And earlier this year, GE Vernova—one of four major wind original equipment manufacturers in the U.S., operating with more than 2,000 wind techs and contractors—announced they would adopt CPI’s wind technician certification program. “Certifications like CPI’s Certified Clean Energy Professional Program help close the gap between technical training centers and real-world field capabilities,” Shanon Lutomski, a Wind Services Executive with GE Vernova, told IOF. “As the wind industry scales, standardization is key to limiting risk for the growing number of field technicians that keep our wind turbines online and energizing communities in the U.S. and worldwide." CPI sees this as an inflection point. They are building out a team to create certifications for more sectors, increasing overall quality, safety, and career stability across the industry. And they expect more than 10,000 clean energy workers to get some form of certification over the next three years. In the meantime, CPI is working across the industry to put lessons from their construction worker survey into action. They’re analyzing the different apprenticeship programs across industry, for example, to determine the feasibility of a common training foundation that would allow workers to retain hours from one job to the next. And they’re crafting some ideas for establishing continuity of healthcare and providing greater financial literacy support. We’re delighted to be partners in these critical efforts.

Chelsea Stone, SVP of Global Service Commercial and Products at Vestas, has spent her career watching what happens when organizations genuinely invest in their people — and what becomes possible when they do. As an advisory committee member for CLEANPOWER in Color 2026, Chelsea brings that conviction to the program. She believes events like this play a critical role — not just in recognizing the talent already shaping the clean energy industry, but in building the conditions for more to thrive. We're grateful to have her help make this year’s experience one that stays with attendees long after they leave Houston. Join us at #CLEANPOWERinColor26: https://lnkd.in/eTFU5VEP

Which three states get the highest share of their power from wind and solar? If you’re thinking Texas or California, you’d be wrong. New ACP analysis has Iowa, South Dakota, and New Mexico at the top of the leaderboard. But that could change soon as some states charge toward 2030 clean energy targets. https://lnkd.in/ez6PUSz6
