Manufacturing Renaissance

American manufacturing is roaring back

After decades of decline, American manufacturing is roaring back鈥攚ith clean energy leading the charge

Solar tracker components manufactured in Pennsylvania. Solar and storage electrical balance of system produced in Tennessee. Battery storage cells made in Michigan. Wind turbine blades in Colorado. These are just a few examples of the 300+ manufacturing facilities actively building primary components for utility-scale solar, battery storage, land-based wind, and offshore wind in the United States.

Manufacturing construction spending has risen even as overall employment in the sector faces headwinds, reflecting an industry that is actively investing in its future. A significant driver of that investment is the rapid expansion of clean energy component manufacturing. The number of facilities surged by 37% in the last five years, and is projected to reach almost 50% growth by the end of the decade.

The Clean Power industry built over 70 new manufacturing facilities in 2025. This manufacturing growth outpaces the 60 new facilities commissioned in 2024 and 40 in 2023, reflecting a consistent upward trend in annual clean energy manufacturing expansion.

Storage Manufacturing 馃攱

Domestic battery energy storage system manufacturing is booming. After 30+ facilities came online in 2025, an equal wave of expansion is set to hit by end-of-2026. Over 140 manufacturing facilities supporting the BESS supply chain are online. Spanning 33 states, each facility improves supply chain and energy security by supporting reliable, base-load power. Of these, more than 80 facilities in 28 states produce鈥痯rimary components for the BESS supply chain.

Should all facilities scale as planned, the U.S. is on track to be able to meet battery demand via domestic module, cells, and lithium production as early as this year.

Wind Manufacturing 馃挩

For over a decade, over 300 American wind manufacturing facilities have supported domestic energy security and economic stimulus. Blade, towers, and nacelles are the most identifiable components of a wind turbine, but over the 300+ facilities also produce drivetrains, bearings, cables, hubs, steel, wind-specific lubricant, and more.

Nearly 20 facilities produce primary components including blades, nacelles, and towers.

All four major wind OEMs supplying the U.S. market 鈥� GE Vernova, Nordex, Siemens Energy and Vestas 鈥� have domestic manufacturing capacity with eight facilities across seven states. Nacelle and tower capacity continues to exceed projected wind installations.

Offshore Wind Manufacturing馃挩

Offshore wind requires a specialized maritime industrial ecosystem, representing a new domestic manufacturing frontier. Not only are the turbines larger than their land–based counterparts, but they require steel-based fixed foundations that anchor to the seafloor, long sea cables to connect to mainland grid, and direct drive motors. Ports near offshore wind installations must be capable of operating and maintaining the facility as well as receiving, storing, and assembling any new offshore wind installation (a 鈥渕arshalling port鈥�). Finally, offshore wind requires four unique vessel types: survey, construction, cable laying, plus operation and maintenance.

There were 6 offshore wind vessels placed in service in 2025, with another 5 vessels currently construction. Domestically manufactured or refurbished offshore wind vessels now total over 30. 13 vessels remain on order with shipyards in Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, and Washington state.

Economic Impact

Supporting Job Growth & Communities

Clean energy manufacturing is creating good-paying careers that strengthen entire communities

Manufacturing the components necessary to build power plants here in the U.S. adds additional economic value to all fifty states and limits our exposure to global supply chain concerns. Clean energy manufacturing is creating new pockets of job growth within the broader sector. While manufacturing employment has faced downward pressure overall, the buildout of these facilities represents a meaningful and growing counterforce.

The 825 manufacturing facilities in the domestic clean energy supply chain is support over 215,000 jobs. This includes 50,000 direct jobs, which earn over 36% more than the national median wage. Active manufacturing facilities contribute $31 billion to annual U.S. GDP and support $62 billion in annual domestic spending. Solar facilities drive half of this economic impact, with wind and battery storage making up another 25% each.

The construction of the facilities that came online in 2025, as well as those still under construction, support 207,000 jobs. An estimated 120,000 of these jobs stem from the construction of battery storage component manufacturing facilities.

By 2030, the industry expects over 950 operational manufacturing facilities in the United States. This supply chain footprint is expected to support 374,000 jobs, contribute $55 billion to GDP, and strengthen national security, technology leadership and economic growth through American-made clean energy.
