  13. Reported Impacts from the Reported Impacts from the Reported Impacts from the Reported Impacts from the Smokey Hills Wind Farm: Phase I Smokey Hills Wind Farm: Phase I • 145 local workers employed during construction construction • 4-6 permanent positions • Landowner lease: Minimum payment of L d l Mi i t f $3,000/turbine (1.8 MW turbines) • Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT): $3,000/MW Data furnished by NREL

  14. NREL Forecasts for 100 MW of New Wind NREL Forecasts for 100 MW of New Wind Power Power • 140-160 Direct Jobs during construction* – 135-155 construction-sector jobs • 15-25 Direct Jobs during operations* – 4-6 plant workers 4 6 plant workers • 50-100 acres of land removed from agriculture or range service – Total acreage of a 100-MW wind farm is estimated at – Total acreage of a 100-MW wind farm is estimated at 5,000 acres (50 acres/MW) • 1%-2% is removed from existing applications – Developers often arrange turbine layouts in Developers often arrange turbine layouts in accordance with existing land use to minimize land impacts
