21. Potential Job Creation, by Alternative (Ely Energy Center, 1500 MW) $1 billion invested in efficiency creates more jobs than $1 billion invested in supply. [SOURCE: ACEEE] A commitment to renewables could create approximately 20,000 jobs in South Carolina; 2,000 in the Pee Dee. [SOURCE: Renewable Energy Policy Project; Tellus Institute] The Pee Dee plant would create approximately 100 permanent jobs (investment ≈ 13 million per job) [SOURCE: Environmental Assessment] Efficiency and renewables together can meet more than 100% of future demand growth at a greater net benefit to the state’s economy than coal.
