Description
EI2–WIND model is designed to estimate the province-wide and territory-wide economic impacts associated with developing and operating land-based wind power generation facilities in Canada. Default data based on industry average are included in the model, which can be used to perform a generic impact analysis.
This model was developed within the framework of the EI2 modelling project.
- Applications
- Employment and economic impact analysis of land-based wind power plant projects
 
- Users
- Provincial and territorial decision-makers, public utility commissions, potential project owners, developers, and others interested in analyzing the economic impacts associated with new or existing power plants, energy services or other projects 
- Key Inputs
- Poject descriptive information (size, location, …) - Costs (construction, and O&M) - Local share of expenditure 
- Key Outputs
- Number of jobs - Direct, indirect, and induced economic impacts on earnings, output, and GDP
