Workforce investment

$800,000+ invested in Ohio clean energy jobs.

Clean Energy Columbus goes beyond delivering clean electricity — it actively invests in the people who build and maintain Ohio's clean energy infrastructure. Through dedicated workforce development funding, the program supports training programs that prepare Ohioans for careers in solar installation, wind maintenance, grid management, and related fields.

Over 500 Ohioans are employed building and operating the projects that contribute clean energy to the Columbus program. These are local jobs, created in Ohio, supporting Ohio families.

The workforce investment is part of the program's broader commitment to community benefit — ensuring that the transition to clean energy creates economic opportunity in the communities that need it most.
