Power and People: Working Conditions in the Texas Clean Energy Transition
August 1, 2024
Workers in clean energy in Texas experience difficult labor conditions. This research finds that many workers across sectors in Texas face dangerous and even deadly working conditions; lack access to benefits like health insurance, workers’ compensation, and retirement plans such as a pension or 401(k); and have experienced pervasive income, wealth, race, and gender inequality. This field study examines the conditions of 1,224 individuals working in utility-scale solar, wind and clean energy manufacturing. Texas has emerged as a national leader in wind production and solar energy installation, with renewable energy accounting for 86% of the state’s planned energy generation through 2030. This growth is in part due to unprecedented funding provided by historic federal climate investments such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
