South Carolina Wind Energy Supply Chain Survey and Offshore Wind Economic Impact Survey

The report identified 1,134 direct jobs involved in South Carolina's wind energy related production or service activities in 2012.  It estimated that a 1 GW offshore wind farm constructed between 2016 and 2025 would create an average of more than 3,800 jobs per year throughout the 10-year construction period.  It also would generate nearly $2 billion in wages and nearly $620 million in combined state and local government revenue.
