The report “The State Of Clean Energy Manufacturing” by American Clean Power summarises that American clean power is leading a manufacturing renaissance across the country. Solar cells and modules made in Ohio, manufactured steel in New Mexico, advanced batteries in West Virginia, offshore service vessels built in Louisiana, and wind turbine blades in Iowa are just a few examples of the output from the 200 manufacturing facilities actively building primary clean power components to supply booming U.S. demand for new energy.
In 2024 alone, the industry added 45 new facilities, marking a 45% increase from the previous year. These 200 primary component manufacturing facilities are attracting upstream and subcomponent suppliers to the U.S., providing new industry opportunities for existing domestic manufacturers. All told, there are well over 800 manufacturing plants contributing to the U.S. clean energy supply chain, with at least one in every state
As of early 2025, the clean power manufacturing sector, specifically battery storage, wind and utility-scale solar, spans 200 primary manufacturing plants spread across 38 states, with notable clusters in the Southeast, Midwest, and Texas.
The breakdown of currently operational primary component facilities is as follows:
• Solar: over 90 manufacturing facilities
• Land-based wind: over 20 manufacturing facilities
• Offshore wind: over 15 manufacturing facilities
• Battery Storage: over 65 manufacturing facilities
