TWO YEARS OF THE CLEAN ENERGY PLAN: NORTH CAROLINA RANKS FIRST NATIONWIDE FOR NEW CLEAN ENERGY JOBS AND INVESTMENTS IN RURAL COMMUNITIES, SOLIDIFYING THE STATE’S STATUS AS A HUB FOR BATTERIES AND EV PRODUCTION https://lnkd.in/gnz-R8Ha

A just transition to a clean energy future will require using battery energy storage systems – a solution that will balance supply and demand by creating a more resilient and efficient energy grid which will bolster our green economy.

North Carolina's clean energy economy is powering forward! Over 20,000 #cleanenergy jobs and $24B in investments have transformed communities across the state. From EVs to solar energy, clean energy investments mean better jobs and bright futures. https://lnkd.in/gU_UhGRA

Last year was a?record year for clean energy investment in the U.S. — and this year is off to an even stronger start. In the first quarter of?2024, private investment in clean energy and electric vehicles reached $71?billion, a?new quarterly record for the country. According to a?recent reportby the Clean Investment Monitor, a?joint project of the Rhodium Group and?MIT’s Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, the figures for?Q1?represent almost a?40percent increase from the first quarter of?2023. via Maria Virginia Olano and Canary Media Inc.

Really excited to launch our new map on clean energy investment in the US! Since 2020, global clean energy investment has risen by 40% and will grow exponentially in the coming decades. The US has the chance to lead these new and lucrative industries. Since 2021, hundreds of billions of dollars have been invested in clean energy manufacturing and deployment in the United States, creating tens of thousands of jobs across the country. Our map tells the stories behind the jaw-dropping nationwide stats: hundreds of American communities—urban and rural, Red states and Blue states—all benefitting from America’s clean energy leadership. https://lnkd.in/ebpUfkQT
