The Pittsburgh regional energy industry includes more than 700 firms that contribute more than 10% of the gross regional product, support some 105,000 jobs (directly/indirectly) and generate $13.7 billion in annual economic activity.
World energy demand is projected to increase by at least 35% by 2030. Therefore, the regions that control energy supply and innovate marketable solutions will be positioned to flourish.
The Pittsburgh region maintains a competitive advantage with the combination of its natural resource base, current employment and climate of innovation across seven energy sectors, explored in more detail below.
Of the regions with a significant natural resource base, ours is the only one that ranks in the top 25 across all seven sectors. This means that our energy economy is:
- Diversified – spanning an array of sources
- Integrated – from our natural resource base through the supply chain
- Dynamic – creating new jobs here today, while energy-related innovations create the jobs of tomorrow
