Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropogenic climate change has been, is and will continue altering the terrestrial environment. In 1997 Nevada adopted the Renewable Portfolio Standard, requiring 25 percent of its electricity to come from renewable sources. This thesis examines the economic impacts of further development of solar photovoltaic, utility-scale energy generation facilities in Nevada. It is important to understand the economic impacts of developing utility-scale projects. To estimate impacts, the models used in this thesis utilize an input-output and social accounting matrix produced by IMPLAN software, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's JEDI software. The intended contribution of this project is to use real world constraints to estimate the impacts of developing solar utilities. The constraints are based on available developable land in the Solar Energy Zones designated by the Bureau of Land Management. The estimated results are presented in terms of total impacts. Nevada's economy could experience impacts ranging anywhere from $3.2 billion to $10.8 billion from construction, and annual O&M estimated impacts range from $1.9 billion to $5.8 billion. The distributed household impacts show that solar is a high income operation, there are few job but they are high paying. Nevada has the opportunity to reduce CO2 emissions as well as expand its economy with further development of utility-scale solar.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nevada has a vast potential for electricity generation using solar power. An examination of the stock of renewable resources in Nevada proves that the state has the potential to be a leader in renewable-electric generation--one of the best in the world. This study provides estimates on the economic impact in terms of employment, personal income, and gross state product (GSP) of developing a portion of Nevada's solar energy generation resources.

This book was released on 1980 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to develop a framework through which these regional economic and demographic impacts of solar technology commercialization can be analyzed. Two models comprise the basis of this framework - a national input/output model and an interregional econometric model, the National-Regional Impact Evaluation System (NRIES). These models are used to convert projected sales of solar energy systems to gross output concepts, and to evaluate the impacts associated with these sales. Analysis is provided for the nine census regions and 50 states and the District of Columbia for the years 1980 through 1990. Impacts on major economic aggregates such as output, employment, income, and population are described. The methodology used in this study is described. The economic and demographic impacts of solar technology commercialization on US regions and states are presented. The major conclusions of the study are summarized, and direction is provided for further research. Detailed tables of regional and state solar energy expenditures and their impacts appear in the Appendix.

Book excerpt: Early in 2002, REPP developed the Jobs Calculator, a tool that calculates the number of direct jobs resulting from renewable energy development under RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) legislation or other programs to accelerate renewable energy development. The calculator is based on a survey of current industry practices to assess the number and type of jobs that will result from the enactment of a RPS. This project built upon and significantly enhanced the initial Jobs Calculator model by (1) expanding the survey to include other renewable technologies (the original model was limited to wind, solar PV and biomass co-firing technologies); (2) more precisely calculating the economic development benefits related to renewable energy development; (3) completing and regularly updating the survey of the commercially active renewable energy firms to determine kinds and number of jobs directly created; and (4) developing and implementing a technology to locate where the economic activity related to each type of renewable technology is likely to occur. REPP worked directly with groups in the State of Nevada to interpret the results and develop policies to capture as much of the economic benefits as possible for the state through technology selection, training program options, and outreach to manufacturing groups.
