Abstract

The use of renewable energy (RE) sources plays a significant role in increasing the security of energy supply and mitigating climate change. Whereas this role is undisputed, there is an ongoing discussion about the employment impacts of promoting RE deployment. In the past years several studies have aimed at clarifying this issue, but the results differ widely, partly due to different methodological approaches and data sources. This paper presents the outcome from a project commissioned by IEA- RETD to develop and test methodological guidelines that intend to streamline employment impact studies and to increase transparency and comparability of results among studies. The paper focuses on guidelines for gross employment studies aiming at capturing employment in a country related to renewable energy use and presents two approaches that are able to capture RE related employment. The approaches are illustrated with examples and results from case studies for several IEA member countries. See above See above
