Key Stats: North Dakota, South Dakota, and Colorado are leading the country in wind energy-related employment per 10,000 residents, with Colorado recording 13.4 jobs, according to recent data from the U.S. Energy & Employment Jobs Report.

Why It Matters: Wind turbine service technician is the fastest-growing occupation in the country, with projected growth of 60% between 2023 and 2033, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Big Picture: Colorado’s renewable energy sector has been gaining traction for years. The state ranked seventh per capita for wind and solar generation projects last year, reflecting its ongoing commitment to clean energy.

What’s New: Colorado’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory has teamed up with RES, a global renewable energy company based in Denver, to introduce “Dynamic Yaw” technology. This new tech aims to make wind turbines more efficient by allowing them to share data and work together, boosting overall performance. According to RES, this method could add the equivalent of one to three extra turbines in a wind farm of 100 turbines through improved management and control.

Expert Insight: “The renewables industry is on the verge of widespread digitalization,” said Alex Bamberger, vice president of digital solutions at RES. He emphasized that this technology is no longer experimental but a practical tool for accelerating progress toward net-zero emissions.

Challenges: Although wind turbine tech jobs are growing rapidly, the total number of positions remains relatively small, with only 1,400 jobs nationwide as of 2023. By comparison, other fast-growing fields, like nurse practitioners, account for hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Bottom Line: Wind and solar energy careers are becoming more reliable, especially with continued federal support. These fields are increasingly viewed as safe bets for the future workforce.
