AMERICAN JOBS IN ENERGY MANUFACTURING ACT
As highlighted above, the American Jobs in Energy Manufacturing Act sponsored by Senator
Manchin represents an estimated $1.7 billion investment in energy-related manufacturing in West
Virginia's coal communities, including $1.2 billion in private investment and $520 million in tax credits.
Importantly, these manufacturing investments would be steered directly to coal power plant and coal
mining communities, resulting in the creation of an estimated 3,250-4,350 full-time manufacturing
jobs in West Virginia, plus 9,300-12,400 indirect, non-manufacturing jobs in West Virginia.
The American Jobs in Energy Manufacturing Act represents just one example of the additional job
creation impacts that the American Jobs Plan could have in West Virginia's energy economy and
coal communities above and beyond the positive employment and earnings impacts flowing from
the energy resource mix changes that we modeled.
BUILDING A WEST VIRGINIA ENERGY ECONOMY FOR THE FUTURE
Last year, in West Virginia's Energy Future, we demonstrated that West Virginia's electric utilities can
dramatically ramp up renewable energy in a cost-effective manner. We also stated that this ramp-up
should be complemented with a federal reinvestment in coal communities and West Virginia's new
energy economy. The American Jobs Plan, as well as Senator Manchin's Energy Infrastructure Act
and American Jobs in Energy Manufacturing Act, represent exactly the type of federal reinvestment
that would honor the historic contributions of our coal communities and secure a robust role for
West Virginia in the energy economy of the future.
As shown in this update, the American Jobs Plan would enable a Clean Innovation Pathway in West
Virginia that achieves 80 percent emission-free power, reduces energy costs, creates jobs, and
grows our economy.
