About the data

The Clean Economy Tracker (CET) tracks private-led investments and jobs in clean energy manufacturing, deployment as well as related public statements by lawmakers serving in the U.S. Congress. Clean energy manufacturing and deployment covers production facilities for batteries, critical mineral production and processing, electric vehicles, heat pumps, hydrogen electrolyzers, transmission and grid materials, and zero-emissions electricity generation (including solar, wind and nuclear). The tool was developed by Atlas Public Policy and Utah State University and is updated at least weekly.

Note the data cover manufacturing only and are through November 30, 2025. The jobs reflect direct, permanent manufacturing jobs and do not include indirect or construction jobs. Jobs canceled refers to clean energy jobs canceled. Where production is moved to another facility, production at the original facility is marked as canceled and investment and jobs are marked as canceled. If and when investment and jobs numbers at the new facility are announced, they will be added to the database.
