Renewable Energy
Real-World Experience
Mangum Economics has become the go-to firm for economic and fiscal impact assessments for renewable energy projects. The Mangum Team has produced hundreds of reports on the economic and fiscal benefits of utility scale renewable energy projects, in more than two-thirds of the states, and on projects covering a combined capacity of over 50 GW.
- Renewable energy projects are capital-intensive projects that provide significant local tax revenue, while imposing few, if any, demands on local government services.
- Renewable energy projects provide a stable and predictable source of revenue for rural communities that often must weather the ups and downs of seasonal employment.
- After decommissioning, former renewable energy sites are effectively returned to meadow. That means, as opposed to residential neighborhoods, strip malls, or industrial developments which permanently remove land from agricultural use, renewable energy projects preserve land for future agricultural use.
