本文使用就业和经济发展影响（JEDI）模型来估计德克萨斯州西部四个县1398MW风电开发的经济影响。在地方一级估计具体项目的影响（即，在风力发电场周围100英里半径内）和州一级。解决的主要经济政策问题是风能投资如何影响风力发电场所在的州和当地社区。在为期四年的建设阶段，大约4100个FTE（全职等效）工作岗位得到了支持，涡轮机和供应链影响占所有工作岗位的58%。这些项目给该州带来的终身经济活动总额超过18亿美元，即每兆瓦装机容量130万美元。当地社区的经济活动总额也很大，在农场假定的20年生命周期内，相当于近7.3亿美元，或每兆瓦装机容量52万美元。考虑到目前观察到的影响程度，以及通过更大程度地利用州内制造能力和开发训练有素的风电行业特定劳动力而增加影响的可能性，德克萨斯州似乎处于有利地位，可以看到持续风电开发的影响越来越大。
This paper uses the Jobs and Economic Development Impacts (JEDI) model to estimate economic impacts from 1398MW of wind power development in four counties in west Texas. Project-specific impacts are estimated at the local level (i.e., within a 100-mile radius around the wind farms) and at the state level. The primary economic policy question addressed is how investment in wind energy affects the state and local communities where the wind farms are built. During the four-year construction phase approximately 4100 FTE (full time equivalents) jobs were supported with turbine and supply chain impacts accounting for 58% of all jobs generated. Total lifetime economic activity to the state from the projects equated to more than $1.8 billion, or $1.3 million per MW of installed capacity. The total economic activity to the local communities was also substantial, equating to nearly $730 million over the assumed 20-year life cycle of the farms, or $0.52 million per MW of installed capacity. Given the current level of impacts observed, and the potential for increased impacts via greater utilization of instate manufacturing capacity and the development of trained wind industry specific laborers, Texas appears to be well positioned to see increasing impacts from continued wind development.
