DID YOU KNOW??

Iowa is a national leader in wind energy, producing the highest percentage of electricity by wind of any state – 60%.

Every major part of a wind turbine is manufactured in Iowa (blades, towers, and nacelles).

Solar installations are found in all 99 counties, benefitting individuals, businesses, farmers, churches and local governments.

In 2019, solar jobs grew faster in Iowa than in any other Midwest state, at 16.5%. Nationally, solar installers are the third fastest-growing occupation, behind wind technicians and nurses.

Reducing energy waste helps people control their energy costs, helps low-income individuals and families pay their bills, and makes housing safer and more comfortable.

Energy efficiency keeps our air and water clean by preventing burning of dirty fossil fuels.
