The states that have seen the fastest growth in energy storage jobs, as part of the broader clean energy and energy job growth, include:
- Alabama with a job growth rate of 9.6% from 2022 to 2023.
- Utah at 7.8% growth.
- North Carolina at 6.9%.
These states experienced the fastest rates of overall energy job growth during that period.
Additionally, energy storage jobs growth is also reflected within the transmission, distribution, and storage sector, where North Carolina led with 9,600 new jobs, followed by Michigan, Georgia, South Carolina, and Arizona, indicating these states are also key locations for energy storage employment expansion.
While California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Illinois have the largest absolute numbers of clean energy jobs, the fastest growth in terms of percentage increase is seen more strongly in Alabama, Utah, and North Carolina.
Thus, for the fastest growth in energy storage jobs specifically, Alabama, Utah, and North Carolina are the leading states, with significant contributions also coming from North Carolina in the broader transmission, distribution, and storage job sector.
