A 2012 SKM study found that one 25-turbine wind farm alone would directly employ up to 48
construction workers and five ongoing staff.
Importantly, each worker will spend about $25,000 in the local area in shops, restaurants, hotels and
other services. This leads to indirect employment during the construction phase of approximately 160
people locally, 504 state jobs and 795 nationwide jobs.
