Economic impacts from wind energy in Colorado case study: Rush Creek Wind Farm
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2019-09) Stefek, Jeremy, author; Kaelin, Anna, author; Tegen, Suzanne, author; Roberts, Owen, author; Keyser, David, author; National Renewable Energy Laboratory, publisher
This report is a quantitative and qualitative analysis of a single wind development: the 600-MW Rush Creek Wind Farm. The results highlight the jobs and economic activity supported during wind construction, manufacturing, and operation and maintenance activities. The case studies and qualitative research in this report provide context for the quantitative JEDI model results describing the economic impacts to rural communities.--taken from website.

Offshore wind in the US Gulf of Mexico: regional economic modeling and site-specific analyses
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2020-02) Musial, Walter, author; Beiter, Philipp, author; Stefek, Jeremy, author; Scott, George, author; Heimiller, Donna, author; Stehly, Tyler, author; Tegen, Suzanne, author; Roberts, Owen, author; Greco, Tessa, author; Keyser, David, author; Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, publisher
The goal of this study is to assess offshore wind energy resources in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and to quantify its technical and economic potential in order to inform Federal and GOM state strategic energy planning over the next decade. Based on the findings from the first phase, during which all renewable energy sources in the GOM were evaluated, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) determined that offshore wind has the highest potential to deliver utility scale electricity from ocean-based renewable energy in the GOM. This conclusion is based on the quantification and relative scoring based on three factors: resource adequacy, technology readiness, and cost competitiveness.

The wind energy workforce in the United States: training, hiring, and future needs
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2019-07) Keyser, David, author; Tegen, Suzanne, author; National Renewable Energy Laboratory, publisher
This report is intended to be a resource for a broad array of organizations interested in understanding the size, composition, and potential growth of the wind energy workforce and educational systems in the United States. Further, we hope that this information can help identify opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness the pathway from education to employment, bringing together employers and educators so that those wanting to work in the wind energy industry and those looking for qualified candidates can more easily connect. These connections will help lead to the qualified workforce needed to innovate, install, operate, and maintain wind energy systems of the future.--taken from website.

Workforce development for U.S. hydropower: key trends and findings
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2019-07) Keyser, David, author; Tegen, Suzanne, author; National Renewable Energy Laboratory, publisher
The purpose of this report is to provide a brief assessment of the current U.S. hydropower industry workforce and educational programs, as well as potential future hydropower workforce needs. This report is based on data collected in 2016 for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) by Navigant Consulting and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), which included a 2014 survey of hydropower employers to assess future workforce needs for potential growth scenarios.
