#Top 10 States for Clean energy Job Announcements Top 10 States for Clean energy Job Announcements Last Year:

California, Texas, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Illinois, Nevada, Oregon, New york, Missouri WASHINGTON (March 12, 2014) More than 78,600 clean energy and clean transportation jobs were announced in 2013 at 260

This is the second full year that E2 has tracked clean energy and clean transportation job announcements. Over the past two years combined, E2 has tracked more than 500 announcements that could create more than 186,500 jobs.

When we invest in clean energy and clean transportation, we put people to work in every corner of the country.

clean energy job growth also faced economic headwinds in 2013. These headwinds came from the continued low cost of natural gas,

I see a strong need for long-term policies that can stimulate private investment in clean energy and energy efficiency.

Here a closer look at some clean energy and clean transportation announcements in 2013:**In California, the California Ethanol and Power Project will produce 66 million gallons of ethanol annually from sugar cane and sweet sorghum.

Clean energy is an increasingly common presence on military bases nationwide. Looking ahead, clean energy and clean transportation job growth could see an uptick in 2014

if Congress reinstates critical tax policies such as the wind industry production tax credit (PTC) and several energy efficiency tax incentives.

Clean energy jobs also could benefit from the rollout of the first-ever limits on carbon pollution from power plants

and less-polluting domestic clean energy infrastructure. Notably, in 2013, the state of New york set the foundation for a $1 billion state green bank to support private investment in New york clean energy economy.

In December 2013, Gov. Cuomo announced an initial capitalization of $210 million to fund the bank launch in early 2014.

At the same time, new clean energy technologies are distinctly ready to meet this challenge, but bringing these technologies to scaled deployment across the economy is contingent on having ready access to capital and strong market structures to support new investment.

the clean energy sector has demonstrated dynamic growth. U s. solar power capacity, for instance, recently surpassed 10 gigawatts as the price of solar panels has fallen some 75 percent during the past five years

and better manage financial risk is a bright spot in advancing the development of a clean energy economy powered by a modernized and climate-resilient electricity infrastructure.

one of the primary hurdles to bringing new clean energy technology to market remains the availability of the affordable capital needed to move great ideas from the research

These financial institutions are some of the most powerful tools for mobilizing new sources of public and private capital into emerging and necessary clean energy projects.

and predictability to investors by ensuring reliable access to efficiently priced and long-term sources of credit to finance publically beneficial, clean energy infrastructure.

and systematically marshal public credit supports to build emerging clean energy markets. In the United states the Connecticut Clean energy Finance and Investment Authority is building a strong track record of success,

while Hawaii, Massachusetts, and California are also establishing similar clean energy financing entities. These emerging green banks also draw on the experiences of infrastructure banks employed in California, Puerto rico, British columbia,

and elsewhere to finance the construction of bridges, roads, transit, and other public facilities. Current state of clean energy financing programs Connecticut The New york Green Bank will join the Connecticut Clean energy Finance and Investment Authority,

or CEFIA, in paving the way for the successful implementation of state green banks and public,

state-level, clean energy financing. Established in 2011, CEFIA featured an initial capitalization of $48 million to provide broad credit support to Connecticut clean energy projects and companies.

CEFIA supports the development of Connecticut clean energy industry through a combination of grants, loans, and other credit supports,

as well as educational programs for businesses and homeowners. These programs include lending for residential solar electricity and hot-water systems,

deep energy efficiency retrofit loans through the Property Assessed Clean energy, or PACE, program for commercial and multifamily buildings,

This investment supported almost 30 megawats of new clean energy and savings of 9, 000 MMBTU of energy per year.

and businesses to invest in solar panels and other clean energy projects. The loans, which are designed to offset the upfront cost of photovoltaic systems,

These programs have issued more than $13 billion in tax-exempt bonds to finance low-cost loans for energy-efficiency improvements and tax incentives for clean energy manufacturing.

Such a bank would further augment California ambitious support for a robust clean energy industry and would represent an efficient use of funds already designated to reduce California emissions.

Massachusetts In 2009, Massachusetts established the Massachusetts Clean energy Center, or Masscec, which invests in early stage clean energy companies and renewable energy projects.

Masscecalso provides financing tools to municipalities, homeowners, and businesses in the form of loans, rebates, and grants.

Masscec programs have helped support the growth of Massachusetts clean energy industry, with an 11.8 percent increase in clean energy jobs from 2012 to 2013.

These financial institutions can specifically target some of the most significant and persistent market barriers that have served to slow the development and deployment of new clean energy technologies.

By doing so, states can significantly improve the function and structure of their clean energy markets.

Currently, the volume and project size of clean energy transactions are often too small and decentralized to attract private capital efficiently into the market.

decreasing investment and establishing a vicious cycle that suppresses clean energy deployment. By serving as a warehouse for energy-efficiency and renewable energy loansnd by providing a clear point of entry into the market for customers

Credit enhancement A key principle of green banks is that they use public dollars strategically to reduce perceived risks for private investors in undertaking investments in clean energy projects.

and origination of specific clean energy projects and the scaled institutional investment in pooled financial products. The current inability of project developers to efficiently access institutional capital in the secondary market limits the liquidity of investments

green banks will greatly support the development of clean energy projects across states and will positively impact the cost of clean energy development by offering real consumer protection for ratepayers,

while expanding the deployment of renewable energy and energy-efficiency projects. A key design principle of any proposed green bank is that it is structured to increase private-sector participation in the market for clean energy project financing.

This will gradually reduce the need for public subsidy as the market achieves maturity and commercial scale.

Through green banks, these strategies can be employed to meet the specific challenges of clean energy deployment and market transformation.

and 25 states haveeers mechanisms to promote clean energy development. Green banks can act as powerful accelerants of these important policies by facilitating the availability of the capital necessary to finance the costs of meeting these goals

otherwise be unavailable for clean energy investments. Furthermore because green banks are designed to recycle the proceeds from these transactions,

accelerating the maturation of state clean energy markets, and helping the nation as a whole move toward a transformed, clean energy economy.

Conclusion With the initial capitalization of the New york Green Bank, New york has launched a dynamic tool that,

which will continue to invest in clean energy projects and promote overall economic growth long after the Obama administration tenure.

and expanding clean energy markets that meet the needs of a vibrant and growing economy. As clean energy technologies continue to demonstrate their growing competitiveness

they will require access to sufficient streams of affordable capital for successful commercialization. This trend is already underway through new investments in public solar companiesand auto companiesrenewed focus on clean technologies.

As our country faces the growing danger of extreme weather and climate change, it is all too clear that investment in state of the-art-the art clean energy infrastructure is essential for the continued strength of the U s. economy.
