HomeCompetitiveness of corporate sourcing of renewable energy. Annex D to part 2 of the Study on the competitiveness of the renewable energy sector, Impact of corporate sourcing of renewable electricity on economic growth and jobs
Publication metadata
Renewables have been increasingly recognized as important contributors to economic growth both in terms of job creation and value added. In this context, as industry and services are responsible for more than two-thirds of the European Union’s (EU) final electricity consumption, corporates’ decision to source renewable electricity can not only improve environmental sustainability, but also fuel economic growth, create employment opportunities and enhance welfare. The present Annex provides an assessment of the impact of corporate sourcing of renewable electricity on economic growth and jobs up to 2030 in ten EU Member States: Bulgaria, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain and Sweden. The remainder is organised as follows: Section 2 briefly reviews recent studies on the socio-economic impact of RE deployment at the global and EU levels; Section 3 illustrates the methodology and data sources; Section 4 estimates total job creation and gross value added (GVA) of corporate sourcing of renewable electricity.
