Nevada Clean Energy Boom Report
Passing the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has kicked America’s clean energy sector into high gear, transforming Nevada into a solar and battery manufacturing powerhouse. Across the state, new clean energy projects have already spurred $12.19 billion in investment, the 6th highest in the nation, and created or moved forward 15,580 good-paying clean energy jobs, the 5th most in the country. Since the IRA’s passage, 11 new clean energy projects have been announced or moved forward in Nevada. Projects span three sectors, including solar, batteries, and electric grid and transmission.

The IRA will continue to accelerate the clean energy jobs boom while lowering energy costs for families, investing in disadvantaged communities, and reducing climate pollution across the state.
