Wind Economics- Determining FactorsWind Economics- Determining Factors
• Land Lease Payments: 2-3% of gross revenue $2500-4000/MW/year
• Local property tax revenue: 100 MW brings in on the order of $500K-$1 million/yr
• 1-2 jobs/MW during construction
• 2-5 permanent O&M jobs per 50-100 MW,
• Local construction and service industry: concrete, towers usually done locally
• Investment as Equity Owners: production tax credit, accelerated depreciation
• Manufacturing and Assembly plants expanding in U.S. (Micon in IL, LM Glasfiber in ND)
