随着人们对能源独立、工作外包和全球气候变化风险的日益关注，政策制定者了解其能源决策的所有影响非常重要。本文评估了影响的一个方面：直接经济影响。该论文比较了风能、天然气和煤炭等新发电对各州的影响。经济影响包括建筑、运营、维护、燃料开采和燃料运输的材料和劳动力，以及项目融资、财产税和土地所有者收入。除了 20 年跨度的所有其他运营支出之外，我们还检查了建设期间的工厂建设支出。初步结果表明，增加新的风电比增加新的天然气或煤炭发电更经济有效，并且用于煤炭和天然气的资金比例将离开该州。在本报告中，我们采访了行业代表和能源专家，并查阅了政府文件、模型和现有文献。这项研究的方法可以适应其他情况，以确定其他州和地区新发电的经济影响。
With increasing concerns about energy independence, job outsourcing, and risks of global climate change, it is important for policy makers to understand all impacts from their decisions about energy resources. This paper assesses one aspect of the impacts: direct economic effects. The paper compares impacts to states from equivalent new electrical generation from wind, natural gas, and coal. Economic impacts include materials and labor for construction, operations, maintenance, fuel extraction, and fuel transport, as well as project financing, property tax, and landowner revenues. We examine spending on plant construction during construction years, in addition to all other operational expenditures over a 20-year span. Initial results indicate that adding new wind power can be more economically effective than adding new gas or coal power and that a higher percentage of dollars spent on coal and gas will leave the state. For this report, we interviewed industry representatives and energy experts, in addition to consulting government documents, models, and existing literature. The methodology for this research can be adapted to other contexts for determining economic effects of new power generation in other states and regions.
