Economic Impacts from Wind Energy in Colorado

About this

Study

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL's) Jobs and Economic Development Impact (JEDI) tool was used to model the statewide and regional economic impacts for the Rush Creek Wind project in eastern Colorado.  The Rush Creek Wind Farm, owned by Xcel Energy, is Colorado's largest wind energy project. It spans four rural counties in eastern Colorado: Cheyenne, Elbert, Kit Carson, and Lincoln. The project consists of 300 Vestas turbines with a capacity of 2 megawatts (MW) each.  This study provides data on jobs, earnings, gross domestic product, and overall economic output supported by the Rush Creek Wind Farm.
