Iowa has a large number of firms and employees delivering energy efficiency services, is a leader in advanced fuels and wind power, and is poised for growth in job-creating installation of solar energy. These are among the key findings of the first comprehensive survey of the advanced energy industry in the Hawkeye State.
With 22,643 workers at 1,427 establishments, the advanced energy industry has become a significant part of Iowa’s economy and can be expected to contribute to the state’s overall economic health and growth going forward. Firms in the industry project employment growth of 6% over the next 12 months, pushing total advanced energy jobs in Iowa to nearly 24,000 by the summer of 2015.
