DGA released two new reports yesterday, in collaboration with the A Renewable America campaign, to highlight the economic impact of renewable electricity development in Michigan and Minnesota. DGA’s analysis reveals the positive impact to Michigan and Minnesota in terms of job creation, wages and benefits, tax revenue and land leasing revenue.
In addition to the economic impact analysis, both reports feature renewable energy success stories, illustrating how renewable electricity is already providing clean, reliable, and affordable power across both states. Significant cost declines in renewable electricity prices – especially for wind and solar – have spurred rapid growth in the renewable industries in recent years.
Our analysis finds that both states can exceed the EPA’s proposed Clean Power Plan through increased use of renewable electricity.
