Quick quiz -- how many of you remember the Lab-embedded Entrepreneurship Program (or LEEP, for short) I talked about a few weeks ago? This is the incredible mentorship and incubator program that pairs energy entrepreneurs with world class facilities and expertise from our national labs, helping make sure businesses just starting out have the resources they need to develop products at scale and succeed in the marketplace. If you read about the new cohort and thought that could be you, check out our webinar on Sept. 4! You'll hear stories from LEEP alumni that will tell you about the program and their experiences -- and help you figure out of working with LEEP and the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), U.S. Department of Energy can help you turn your energy innovations into reality.

Big findings for the wind industry! The @U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Wind Energy Technologies Office has recently released three new reports showcasing the wind energy sector’s resilience and growth. Despite a year of ups and downs, the wind industry has shown remarkable potential. Key insights from the 2024 reports include: ➡️ Wind power supports over 125,000 American jobs. ➡️ The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has significantly boosted near-term wind deployment forecasts and driven billions in investment for the domestic wind supply chain. ➡️ Thanks to the IRA, near-term wind energy forecasts have surged by over 30%, with new additions expected to reach levels that can power more than 4.5 million homes annually by 2026 and over 6 million American homes by the end of the decade. ➡️ Wind energy benefits public health by reducing emissions of pollutants, providing clean energy to the grid and clean air to our lungs! When converted to a dollar value, the health and climate benefits of wind are 2.5 times its cost! As one of the most cost-effective electricity sources in America, wind energy is poised for impressive growth. Explore the full reports to see how these developments are shaping wind energy and what’s on the horizon: https://lnkd.in/dWBPD4rY #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy

CLEAN ENERGY WIN: Community solar is transforming the way we access clean energy, making it possible for individuals and communities—regardless of income or homeownership status—to benefit from solar power! While most community solar projects are currently concentrated in Florida, New York, Minnesota, and Massachusetts, a new initiative is expanding this opportunity to even more Americans. The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) has launched the Achieving Cooperative Community Equitable Solar Sources (ACCESS) project, using funding from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office. This groundbreaking program aims to extend solar access and affordability to rural and low-income communities across the country. By building a replicable framework, the ACCESS project paves the way for equitable solar access, ensuring that the benefits of clean energy are within everyone’s reach. See how this initiative takes a major step forward in creating a more inclusive and sustainable energy future: https://lnkd.in/eiNCK3Nr #SolarForAll #CleanEnergy #CommunitySolar

The U.S. energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by state and federal policies that are reducing emissions, promoting innovative technologies, and supporting domestic manufacturing while creating high-wage jobs across the country. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 2024 U.S. Energy Employment Report (USEER) examines employment trends across both traditional and emerging energy sectors, highlighting the expansion of the energy workforce and the growth of new domestic supply chain roles. Key findings include: 🟢 Job creation: Clean energy accounted for 6% of all newly created jobs in the United States in 2023. 🟢 Growth rate: Employment in clean energy grew at twice the rate of traditional energy sectors and the overall economy. 🟢 Workforce diversity: Unionization increased in utilities and construction, along with a significant rise in employment for military veterans and Latino or Hispanic workers, who now hold one-third of new clean energy jobs. 🟢 Hiring trends: Employers reported improved ease in hiring qualified workers compared to the previous year. These insights underscore the transformative impact of clean energy investments and their role in building a more dynamic and inclusive workforce.
