Renewable energy projects offer the potential to drive wider economic benefits across the local region, including new jobs. Typically, a significant number of direct and indirect jobs are created during the project’s construction phase, with a smaller number of jobs during the operations phase.
Local businesses can benefit greatly from the extra economic activity generated by the wind farm – particularly during the construction phase. As a result, locals may be more willing to remain in the community and more visitors may be attracted to the area.
