Green Energy job prospects and data
Reports and articles focusing on employment opportunities within the renewable sectors- present and future projections.
REPP research report- The work that goes into renewable energy. Nov 2001
A US focused report by the Renewable Energy Policy Project (REPP). In this Report REPP has deliberately by-passed the more traditional econometric and input-output models that rely on national data to project job creation associated with investments in electric generation options. The job estimates in this study are based in large part on surveys taken of companies currently operating in the United States. As a result, the job estimates are not economic projections; they are a reflection of current industry practices. However, the findings of the survey are presented so that a projection of jobs per MW of new renewables, renewables related to a state or federal initiative, can easily be modeled.
