1 18 Jobs and Economic Impacts from the JEDI Model 1,000 MW of New Wind Power in Idaho JEDI Model Version W e Project Development & Onsite Labor Impacts Landowner Revenue: $3 million/year Local Property Taxes: $3.8 million/year Construction Phase: 504 new jobs $32 million to local economies Operational Phase: 51 new jobs $2.6 M/year to local economies Construction Phase = 1-2 years Operational Phase = 20+ years Turbine & Supply Chain Impacts Construction Phase: 3,569 new jobs $403.8 million to local economies Operational Phase: 86 new jobs $13.5 million/year to local economies Induced Impacts Construction Phase: 1,341 new jobs $121.6 million to local economies Operational Phase: 66 new jobs $6 million/year to local economies Totals (construction + 20 years) Total economic benefit: New local jobs during construction: New local long-term jobs: $1.13 billion 5,

4 Key Issues for Wind Power Financial markets Policy Uncertainty Supply chain/workforce Siting and Permitting: avian, noise, visual, federal land * Transmission: FERC rules, tariffs, new lines, PMA s Operational impacts: variability, ancillary services, forecasting, cost allocation Accounting for non-monetary value: green power, no fuel price risk, reduced emissions and water use
