o Impact on employment
With the sustainable nature of operational activities, the employment opportunities which would
be generated during this phase of the development, are purported to be full time or long term
employment opportunities and if they are occupied by local residents and provided by local
ventures, the development would benefit the local economies and ease unemployment and
income hindrances, which in turn would stimulate further expenditure and sales within the
economies. The total impact during the operational phase of the proposed wind and solar
energy facilities should have on employment is 226 new permanent employment opportunities
during the operations of the wind energy facility, and 309 new permanent employment
opportunities during the operations of the solar facility (Table 4.3).
