Clean Energy Is on the
Right Side of History

Global Perspective:-1
A record 157 GWs of renewable power
commissioned in 2017, up from 143 GW in 2016,
nearly a 10% increase, and far more than the 70
GW of fossil fuel added.
Renewable energy, excluding large hydro,
contributed 61% of the world’s new generation
capacity built in 2017.
Solar alone accounted for 98 GW or 38% of the
net new power capacity added in 2017, more
than the net additions of coal, gas and nuclear
combined.Source: UN Environment and Bloomberg,

Global Perspective:-2
The $280 invested in renewables in 2017 far
exceeded the $103 billion invested in fossil fuel
generation, $42 billion in nuclear, or $45 billion in
large hydro dams.
Renewables still have a long way to. Last year
12.1% of electricity produced worldwide came
from renewables (up from 11% in 2016).
Even so, renewables prevented the emission of
1.8 gigatons of carbon dioxide.

Clean Energy JobsClean energy sectors employed 3 million
Americans in 2016.
Energy efficiency provided 2.2 million jobs in
2016 according to the US DOE.
Solar has been the fastest growing job-creator
among all electricity generation technologies. It
creates more than twice as many jobs as the
fossil fuel industry.
Solar added almost 74,000 jobs between 2015
and 2016. Wind was second, adding 24,650.
The electricity storage sector is growing like
mad, added 91,000 jobs in 2016

The First Solarize Campaign The first Solarize campaign began with local Portland residents who wanted to install solar power, but didn’t
know where to start. They imagined that if they could organize a group of neighbors to “go solar” together,
they could collectively make an informed purchase and negotiate a volume discount. They turned to the local
neighborhood coalition, Southeast Uplift, for assistance. Southeast Uplift approached Energy Trust of Oregon
for technical and program planning support. By coincidence, Energy Trust had developed a solar PV volume
purchasing program and was eager to test the model. With community volunteers, neighborhood association
staff, and Energy Trust support and rebates, the first Solarize campaign was born.
Within six months of starting their campaign, Solarize Southeast had signed up more than 300 residents and
installed solar on 130 homes. The 130 installations added 350 kilowatts of new PV capacity to Portland and
created 18 professional-wage jobs for site assessors, engineers, project managers, journeyman electricians,
and roofers.2

The neighborhood collective purchase concept spread quickly. With support from a DOE Solar America
Communities grant,3 the City of Portland’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainability helped other community
2 Eighteen full-time permanent jobs were created by three solar installation firms (2010 self-reported numbers).
3 The SAC grant has supported a half-time employee for two years. Additional City staff provided technical and
management assistance. Portland has also provided sub-recipient grant funding to eight communities in Oregon totaling
$47,000 with the intent of replicating the successes of Solarize Portland across the state.
