This analysis responds to a request from the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to estimate the direct and indirect jobs and economic impacts of projects supported by the §1603 Treasury grant program. The analysis employs NREL's Jobs and Economic Development Impacts (JEDI) models to estimate the gross jobs, earnings, and economic output supported by the construction and operation of the large wind (greater than 1 megawatt) and solar PV projects funded by the §1603 grant program.
