Jobs and sustainable growth

It takes person power to build, operate, and maintain renewable energy infrastructure. That means more direct employment, plus business for suppliers and sub-suppliers, for every gigawatt constructed. But beyond this, reliable, homegrown renewable energy can help sustain existing jobs in the long term, by supplying industries with the affordable, reliable, clean energy they need. This depends in part on the electrification of industries that traditionally rely on fossil fuels, and the ability of renewable energy developers to deliver the volumes needed to power their electrified processes. If both sides are achieved, this can become a positive feedback loop, multiplying economic benefits across society.
