More than 100,000 manufacturing jobs have been announced in the U.S. since the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law, following the April announcements of four new large scale clean energy projects expected to hire 1,500 manufacturing workers.
The new projects are estimated to invest over $2 billion and bring the total number of projects announced since the IRA to 305, according to the monthly tally of private-sector announcements from E2.
Among the projects announced in April was a $1.4 billion investment by Toyota to build a three-row electric SUV at its Princeton facility in Indiana and a $294 million investment by Boviet Solar to build its first solar manufacturing plant in North America in North Carolina that will employ over 900 workers.
In all, at least 305 major clean energy projects have been announced in 40 states and Puerto Rico since the IRA passed, according to E2’s analysis. Companies have also announced at least 105,454 new jobs and over $123 billion in capital investment for these projects.
In April, manufacturing projects accounted for all four announcements. Indiana received the largest investment in April ($1.4 billion), and now ranks fifth for the most investment dollars announced for new clean energy projects with $7.8 billion. The solar energy sector received the most announcements with two. Two projects will be located in congressional districts held by Republicans and the two in Democratic-controlled districts.
